If you use one of the major Internet providers like AT&T, Verizon or Lumen (AKA
Centurylink/Qwest/US West), they have all been compromised, apparently. That means it
is up to you to protect the data that you transmit and receive and you should not assume
that they can or are protecting it. If that makes you nervous or if you are unsure if you
are doing enough to protect your data, please contact us.

planning comes into play; there are several easy and inexpensive solutions to this. If
you would prefer to avoid this trap and need help, please contact us.
