Program.  Kim introduced Jeff Roberts, who chairs the Genetic Genealogy Interest Group.  He will speak to us today about protecting ourselves online.  Jeff gave us a wonderful and sobering talk about keeping our files safe while we are online.  He strongly suggested that we all use a password manager for our accounts.  A password manager has the ability to generate safe passwords for each of our accounts and will keep track of them for us.  He recommended that we read Scam Me If You Can, by Frank Abagnale and listen to the podcast The Perfect Scam.  Kim Thurman thanked Jeff for providing us with this needed information.
