December 14 Briefs Excerpts:

Beware Unexpected Online "Gifts"
The holiday season typically brings an increase in our use of online services, from reading email from long-lost friends and buying gifts online to tracking shipped items and checking bank balances. All of this activity presents many opportunities for scammers and hackers to gain access to online accounts. An article from the SANS Institute does a very good job of presenting the dangers of phishing attacks and email scams, how to detect them, and how to protect yourself from them using simple precautions.

Library to Hold Open House Dec. 16
To celebrate new services and a new look, JLab Library staffers invite JLab staff, students and users to visit the Library Open House on Friday, Dec. 16, 3-5 p.m. The library is located in Room 126 on the first floor of the Applied Research Center building.

Lands' End Logo Orders
Lands' End Business Outfitters is now hosting a website where you can order a variety of items with a JLab logo. The website was established as a service in response to JLab staff and users who have requested options for JLab-branded merchandise. Those using the website deal directly with Lands' End Business Outfitters. The lab derives no financial benefit or proceeds from any transaction. See the full Briefs for the offsite link.
