Small businesses need strong password policies

Human error is responsible for 88 percent of data breaches. This means someone's unintentional actions, or failure to take action like updating to much stronger passwords, caused the breach.

Unfortunately, weak passwords often play a role during cyber security acts. Hackers target login portals with brute force attacks, trying various passwords to see if one fits. Often, criminals use lists of the most common phrases like qwerty, 12345678, and 1q2w3e. Employees use these because they're easy to remember. But by doing so, they may welcome interlopers into your hardware and software.

Letter: Signage before the exit might help

Linda Cook writes:
Wondering if part of the solution folks are seeking would be better/clearer signage for trucks coming off the parkway?

I go through town between 0515 and 0530 on my way to work; getting behind a semi coming off the LBN heading to 55N/Campbellsville is a given most days. Take a drive on the parkway; take a closer look at the signage when exiting. Makes one ask if larger/clearer/concise signage directing them to the bypass BEFORE they even hit the off ramp would be helpful. As they say, just my two cents worth.

Letter: Semi blocking traffic on Square

Ann Pearson writes:
This morning I was traveling and came to the Square and a semi suddenly swung WIDE blocking traffic on the square, if that normal sign that's there it would have been torn down, AGAIN! They need to put a stop to the trucks being on the Square and tearing up things.

Taxpayers end up paying to have them replaced constantly and the semis just roll on out. The noise is even worse and they pull right out in front of cars like no one else matters but them.

Seasonal care needed - make a positive impact

By Mike Watson

Spring is here and many seasonal things must be tackled in the great scheme of life. I'm not referring to lawn care, gardening, general household maintenance, nor the many other tasks that this time of year brings.

No, I'm referring to our family cemeteries--the upkeep of the 'silent cities' or our loved ones; the final resting places of our revered ancestors, the makers of our history.

Spring brings new growth. Before it takes hold of your rural cemetery, clear away brush, fallen branches, undergrowth, weeds and leaves.
