The Florida SMaSH Beer Festival was created to celebrate the creativity and camaraderie of brewers in the Sunshine State and provide an opportunity to give back to the community. Each brewery will concoct a beer made from the same single malt and single hop. This limitation forces brewers to think outside the box as well as focus on outstanding techniques. With roughly 50 beers to sample, including one-offs from every brewery involved, there will be something to please everyone. All proceeds will benefit A Spoon Full of Hope, so this is the perfect chance to enjoy some delicious craft beer while supporting a great cause. |

January is Move Over Awareness Month.
Florida Law (Statute 316.126) requires you to move over a lane (when you can safely do so) for stopped Law Enforcement, Fire Rescue, EMS, Sanitation, Utility Service Vehicles, Tow Trucks, Maintenance or Construction Vehicles with displayed warning lights without advanced signs or channeling devices.
If you can’t move over or when on a two-lane road, slow down to a speed that is 20 mph less than the posted speed limit. Slow down to 5 mph when the posted speed limit is 20 mph or less.
Violating the Move Over law will result in a fine, fees, and points on your driving record --but more importantly it puts yourself and others at risk of serious injury or death if you crash into a vehicle or worker.
Pay attention, drive responsibly, slow down, move over, help save a life!!

FBI Warning
Hackers Mail Malicious USB Flash Drives to Spread Ransomware
|
|
The FBI has observed, as early as November 2021, that a cybercriminal group known as FIN7 has been targeting the US defense industry with a package containing a fraudulent thank you letter, counterfeit Amazon gift card, and a USB device. The enclosed USB provided by the group is a commercially available device known as a “BadUSB” or “Bad Beetle USB,” typically with the logo “LilyGO.” When plugged into a computer system, the USB device automatically injects a series of keystrokes in order to download and execute a malware payload. FIN7 seeks to deploy ransomware within a compromised network using a variety of tools including Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, PowerShell scripts, Carbanak, GRIFFON, DICELOADER, and TIRION for financial gain. |

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: The CDC moratorium on evictions has ended; Seminole County is committed to ensuring families receive assistance, if needed, and reminds residents that grants are available for low or very low-income households impacted by COVID-19. Seminole County’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) has approximately $3.6 million in funding remaining, while the Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program (EMAP) has nearly $1.5 million in remaining grants.
Of Seminole County’s 167,500 households, it is estimated that 45,000 are below 80% of the average median income. If these families can show a loss of wages, loss of hours worked, or other income loss due to COVID-19, they may qualify for past-due rent/mortgage and utility payments.
