Don’t Get Hooked: Phishing

Phishing refers to almost any message-based attack where a cyber criminal is sending a message to you pretending to be someone you know. The cyber criminal is hoping you will click on the link or attachment in their email so they can steal your information. Cyber criminals are not just limiting their phishing to emails – they are also using instant messaging and social media posts to tempt people to click on malicious links and attachments. The best way to detect and stop phishing is knowing the phishing indicators so you don’t fall for their scam.

SFG Library: Intellectual Capital Reads

Here at SFG, we support an ongoing educational culture. One of the ways we do this is holding an employee book club meeting several times per year to share about nonfiction books we’ve read. Additionally, we keep a library of books in our conference room — anyone is welcome to comb through it and take a book home! These books all relate to one of our Four Capitals — Financial, Physical, Intellectual, and Psychological — and offer insight into the approach we are so committed to. Here is a list of the books we currently have related to Intellectual Capital.
