Eastern Alliance Insurance Group Review - Employer Recognition Program
What is the purpose of the Program?
The intention of the program is to acknowledge an employer’s commitment to Return to Wellness and thank them for their dedication. Sometimes the focus is only on employers who do not offer modified duty. The ecovery Recognition Program keeps Return to Wellness in a positive light and provides us with an opportunity to say “thank you” to your clients who embrace the ecovery philosophy, as well as provide additional employee ecovery education.
How does the Program work?
Both agents and Eastern team members can nominate an employer who has demonstrated a commitment to the ecovery and Return to Wellness philosophy by completing the ecovery Employer Recognition Program nomination form on the www.eains.com website. The form is submitted for Eastern’s review, and each quarter, approved nominees will be recognized.
Who should be nominated?
Employers who have demonstrated a commitment to the ecovery and Return to Wellness philosophy through such actions as: implementing and utilizing an ecovery Program, creatively providing opportunities for modified duty, or taking steps to incorporate ecovery into their workplace culture.
What will the employers receive?
Employers will receive a letter of appreciation and a placard to publicly display their commitment to the ecovery philosophy. Recipients will be listed on the ecovery website and blog. They will also receive instructions on how their employees can enter a quarterly drawing for a grand prize.
How do employees enter the drawing?
There will be instructions included in the letter to the recognized employers. The employer should notify Eastern within the provided time frame if they are interested in having their employees participate in the drawing. Eastern will then send the employer cards to distribute to each employee. The cards contain a link the employee can use to enter the drawing upon viewing a brief introduction to ecovery and completing a quick survey.
How often are nominees acknowledged?
At the end of each quarter (March, June, September and December), the person submitting the nomination form will be advised as to the status of the nomination. Employers who have been selected for recognition will receive a phone call from Eastern and will be mailed their recognition materials. The grand prize drawing occurs once per quarter, after which the winner, his/her employer, and the employer’s agent are notified.

No one is excused from cyberattacks. Even your small business could fall victim to one attack or another. With all the important sensitive data you have involving your clients and staffs; the repercussion of a breach can be serious and frightening. For this reason, it is necessary to take precaution, establish rules and measures to use against attacks over the internet.

• There are a number of ways files can be lost unexpectedly, this is why it is important to frequently backup data. Save it in a secured remote location in case anything goes badly wrong with your computer.
• Choose the best security software that can:
- catch viruses and Trojan horse programs

Many security software are available on the market. Make sure to install it on every PC and server running and up-to-date.
• Protect your network with a firewall to control internet traffic coming into and flowing out. You need to use a firewall whenever you go online to provide protection from unsafe internet sources.
• Implementing a strong password is the easiest and simplest way you can do to strengthen your protection. You should definitely avoid using your personal data in creating a password and consider setting a password protection policy where you can make user passwords expire after a certain number of days.

In addition, limit the people who have access to records and ensure that they understand the sensitivity of the data they work with and their role to make it safe and secure.
• Stored paper receipts with personal and financial information shouldn’t be kept for a long time in your cabinet if it is no longer needed. Buy a paper shredder and shred those papers instead.
• Do not underestimate the importance of physical security. Get a surveillance camera and an alarm system to protect your personnel, hardware, and data from physical actions and events that may cause severe loss or damage to your business.
• Establishing IT security policies is essential to a company’s health. It must contain rules and measures that target the prevention and elimination of the common kinds of internet attacks that may threaten the company. Make sure that your employees will understand and follow each guideline and you yourself should set a good example to everyone else in the business.

Cyber Security - How to Minimize the Risk of Becoming a Victim of Identity Theft
The technology today provides new ways for cybercriminals to steal personal and financial informations to commit fraud. As authorities continue to create and improve cybercrime fighting tactics, the methods used by criminals to steal identities evolve over time as well. Below are some ways to defend yourself against attacks.
1. Many people have many different online accounts which use the same one, two or three passwords. This is the common mistake for many people as it makes them more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Do not use obvious passwords that can be easily guessed by cybercriminals and frequently change your passwords on each account.
2. Cybercriminals will definitely send emails pretending that they are from the bank and will require you to input your personal and financial details in one of their bogus websites. If this happens, ignore the message. If the email truly bothers you, call your bank instead.
3. Frequently check your financial reports for unquestionable transactions. Contact your bank immediately if you found one.
4. Shred your documents by using a paper shredder before dumping them all in the trash. Cybercriminals might obtain important information if you don’t properly dispose those receipts and bank statements you have.
5. Request for a compilation of all your credit transactions. Examine those credit reports for wrong details and quickly report it to your bank if there’s any.
6. If you notice questionable transactions on your account then file a "Fraud Alert". A fraud alert can make it harder for identity thieves to open more accounts in your name because it will require verifying your identity first before it issues credit.
7. Do not bring your Social Security card outside if it isn’t necessary. Unexpected things may happen, it is better left at home.
8. Identity thieves can make a way to recover all your deleted files from a formatted hard drive, so it is better to completely remove data on hard drives using different ways available on the market.

The Top Cyber Security Risks in Asia-Pacific In 2017
Cybercriminals will continue to innovate through ransomware
The malware business is a business like any other: cyber threat groups compete and innovate, with the most successful growing and spreading rapidly. Given the success of ransomware in 2016, we will see a continuation of ransomware attacks – with new innovations emerging and propagating, according to whichever attracts most payment.
2016 saw real innovation in the ransomware market, with a particularly interesting recent variant called ‘Popcorn Time’ that allows the victim’s files to be decrypted for free if they can infect two other people.
Commoditized versions of ransomware will, however, be a less pervasive threat for large corporations, as they gradually improve the management of this threat and their ability to mitigate it. Rather, criminals will target high-value assets using more sophisticated and innovative ransomware variants, and will develop additional functionality to seek out more lucrative individual targets within organisations, to enhance the chance of victims paying ransoms. Criminals will extort victims not only by threatening to deny access to data, but also by threatening to publish sensitive data.
Website defacements will be old school – website ransoms will be the new tactic
One specific kind of attack we expect to grow is website ransomware, where the contents of websites are targeted. This trend started emerging in Asia last year:
• In November, several websites were found to be compromised and their web contents encrypted by a ransomware variant called JapanLocker. Control Risks’ research into this variant reveals that it was developed by a hacker known as Shor7cut, a member of the Indonesian Defacer Tersakiti group. This group is well known in the Indonesian hacking community and has more than 22,000 members.
• In October, several Pakistani government websites were compromised and their contents encrypted by the CTB-Locker ransomware. The hackers, believed to be from the Indian group known as Hell Shield Hackers, used this method to retaliate after Pakistani hackers breached nearly 7,000 Indian websites.
• In March, a ransomware variant known as KimcilWare was spotted targeting websites running the Magento eCommerce platform. This variant is thought to have been developed in Indonesia.
• Also in March, Kaspersky Lab detected more than 70 servers, located in ten countries, compromised by the CTB-Locker ransomware. Most of the victims were from the US; this shows how threat actors in Asia Pacific are taking successful tools from other regions, adapting them, and applying them in their own region.
Such attack techniques will continue to emerge and evolve in 2017. We foresee further ransomware variants of this kind being developed by threat actors in Asia Pacific, and used for cyber activist and cybercriminal activities in the region.
