DECEMBER 2022 ISSUE
"To The North Pole We Went"

On November 9th, Leatherstocking Abstract proudly sponsored an event by Broadway Utica where 1500 local students were welcomed into the dreamy world of the holiday classic film The Polar Express at The Stanley Theatre.

"Thousands of tiny faces pressed against the cold, frosted glass, their eyes like giant saucers, as yellow buses approached The Stanley Theatre. The chill of winter swirled through the air as an actor, dressed as The Polar Express conductor, paced the sidewalk with an oversized lantern and stopwatch in his hand, as he shouted, “Welcome! Welcome to the Polar Express!" -Broadway Theatre League

It was a great day for students to relax and enjoy an afternoon at the marvelous Stanley Theatre. We were happy to receive thank you cards from various students who marveled at the magical day!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We hope it is an enjoyable season for you to spend time with friends & family.

Please note our office will be closing at 2:00 PM on December 23rd. We will also be closed Monday, December 26th and Monday, January 2nd to celebrate the holidays.

A watering hole attack is one of the most dangerous because the risk is hidden within an otherwise legitimate website. Hackers identify websites visited the most by their intended victims. 

Hackers then find vulnerabilities in those websites and embed the website with malicious software. This enables the criminals to target a particular group of companies or a specific industry. 

Tips to keep in mind:
Install Software Patches and Updates: Watering hole attacks take advantage of software vulnerabilities in common applications, like operating systems and browsers. Updating software and browsers regularly reduces the risk of an attack. Always comply with any update notices from the FNF Information Security Office or system administrators. 
Protect your online activities: When criminals are unable to track commonly used websites, they do not know which ones to plant their malware in. Be sure to utilize the VPN when working off of the Company's secure network. Social media sites can also be infected. 
Stay informed: One of the best defenses against hackers is an informed user. Users who know what the newest threats are know how to avoid becoming a victim. Take the time to understand the risks and how to avoid them.
