Author New Infographic Raises Awareness About Data Breaches, Hacking, and What You Can Do to Protect Yourself
North Huntingdon, PA (PRWEB) March 06, 2014
A new infographic from Century Negotiations, Inc (CNI) reveals startling information about the world of hacking and data breaches. Backed by solid research, including 9 years of studies done by ID Theft Center, the infographic entitled “EXPOSED: Hacking and Data Breaches – The Business of Stealing Information” strives to educate CNI’s clientele and blog readers about this increasingly common form of data thievery. The graphic is available to view on their blog for free, and reveals ways the consumer can protect his/herself from becoming a victim.
As technology increases at an exponential rate, the vulnerability of the consumer continues to demand more attention. It’s not just the PC that’s connected to the internet anymore. For most people, it’s their cell phone, which holds a trove of personal data (including photos, videos, and text messages). Then there’s the rapidly expanding audience of people utilizing wearable technology, such as watches and smart glasses. Even further, home appliances and automobiles are starting to integrate internet technology. It’s inevitable that connected technology will eventually envelope just about every activity people engage in on a daily basis. Although convenient, these advances necessitate new habits to protect personal information.
Along with the consumer responsibility comes the need for businesses and corporations to adopt vigilant privacy policies and technological protection to keep data thieves out. The most recent large scale attack was towards Target stores in December, amidst the busiest shopping season of the year, where a reported 40 million financial records were stolen. Another 70 million records were further compromised containing items like a name and email address. Though unsettling, this is not the first time an event like this has happened. It begs the question then: What are companies doing to crack down on the gaps in technology which allows these hackers to be successful?
While companies fight to keep up with sleuth hackers, there’s also a new level of consumer responsibility that people must take on as citizens of the internet community in order to protect their own privacy. In the blog post and infographic, CNI shares several preventative measures to take that will make it much harder for a hacker to steal one’s information. Bottom line – it’s up to the consumer to make their data well protected and not become the low-hanging fruit that hackers so eagerly seek out.
As a debt settlement company, CNI wants to make sure their clients and blog readers are well equipped not just for the financial roads of life, but also developing best practices that will permeate into their lives as a whole. This includes better online security to protect items like a social security number (SSN) and credit card information, ensuring that hackers will not be able to access this information and then fraudulently charge up the credit or bank accounts.
CNI was founded by Dave Leuthold in 2003 and is now recognized as a leader in the debt settlement industry. He was also involved with the founding of The Association of Settlement Companies and is on the board of the American Fair Credit Council. CNI has settled more than $ 600,000,000 of debt for their clients.

One Stop Green Creates New Infographic to Quantify ActiveLED Lighting Savings
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) December 28, 2012
One Stop Green, an international distributor of green, energy efficient products and services has created a new infographic to define the Path to Net Zero with ActiveLED lighting. The infographic outlines the path to achieve net zero – a term for a building or facility with zero net energy consumption and zero carbon emissions annually. By first dramatically reducing energy consumption with ActiveLED lighting, facilities can compliment this energy efficient lighting with solar PV solutions to produce a long term, sustainable lighting solution that is off grid and perfect for emergencies when access to power is limited.
The Path to Net Zero Infographic uses the Riverbend Parking Garage case study in Iowa City, Iowa. The parking garage was using 34 – 240w metal halide lights that were on for twenty-four hours a day producing an annual consumption of 71,482 kWh costing the property owners $ 6,433.34 every year. With the ActiveLED solution, each 240w MH light was replaced with an 18-watt energy efficient ActiveLED light providing more lumens per watt and even illumination throughout the parking garage. With the intelligent light space manager, each 18w light went down to 5 watts in ActiveREST still producing light, that upon detection of movement powers to full light output. With the Next Generation ActiveLED lighting solution, the garage now produces only 5,361 KwH costing the property owner $ 482.50 annually – a return on investment of only 1.8 years saving them 93% kWh savings in the first year alone. The ten-year recoup amount for the property owner, within the warranty period alone is over six figures – guaranteed energy savings backed by our unconditional no light loss warranty.
Each ActiveLED fixture is made in America, specifically in Georgetown, Texas and comes with a warranty performance, which guarantees an extremely long life cycle. While other competitors can only estimate energy savings and ROI numbers, the quality and technology behind ActiveLED products allow One Stop Green to quantify the exact savings and is even guaranteed to deliver. The patented design produces a brilliant white light with fewer watts making it the most efficient LED light on the market delivering immediate savings derived from energy and maintenance costs. One Stop Green offers ActiveLED lighting and even for any interiors, exteriors, commercial office, commercial retail and manufacturing, and even grow lights.
ActiveLED is also the most environmentally safe lighting available containing no zero mercury content while providing valuable LEED points. All ActiveLED fixtures are 100% recyclable, at the end of the light’s life cycle, One Stop Green will even buy the light back to recycle and re-use, truly a Green Product.
One Stop Green, LLC facilitates environmentally friendly improvements to residential and commercial properties through distribution of green, energy efficient products and services. Their goal is to provide practical, long-term, and economical solutions for existing and non-existing facilities while remaining dedicated to the principles of sustainability. One Stop Green’s mission is to help consumers take control of their energy options so they can reduce their carbon footprint and do their part for the environment, while protecting themselves against rising energy costs and taking advantage of valuable Federal tax credits and deductions.
