Cicadas have arrived at IEMA-OHS. But we’re not letting them in because they haven’t taken IS-100, 200, 700, or 800 yet.
Important Reminder: Protect Your Privacy and Security
In our digital age, it's crucial to be mindful of the information we share online. IEMA-OHS wants to highlight an important aspect of online security: avoiding posting pictures that display your state ID or work badge. Here’s why:
1. Identity Theft - Personal information on your ID can be exploited by others to impersonate you.
2. Security Breach - Details from your badge can be used by bad actors to gain unauthorized access to your workplace or sensitive systems. It's remarkably easy to forge an ID with access to a picture of one.
3. Privacy Concerns - Your ID often contains private information that you don't want to be publicly available.
4. Professional Risks - Revealing your work location and role can make you a target for phishing or other malicious activities aimed at your organization.
5. Policy Violation - Many workplaces have strict policies against sharing badges or IDs online to safeguard both employee and organizational security.
Be vigilant and protect your personal and professional information. Stay safe online!
