It’s become an invaluable asset to our professional lives. I would like to share some interesting tid bits on how our DMS social media sites are a great resource for you professionally and the agency. Craig J. Nichols DMS Agency Secretary The Florida DMS Facebook page provides you daily posts about state and agency news and programs. You can also access the photo galleries of DMS’ events and infographics. You don’t need a Twitter account to view the tweets at @FloridaDMS and frequent updates keep you up-to-the-minute on state and DMS news. If you’re particularly interested in a topic, look for a word with the “#” hashtag in front; click on the word and it will reveal all related posts. The Florida Department of Management Services Linkedin company page shares DMS job and business opportunities. If you select “Florida Department of Management Services” as your employer on Linkedin, it will connect you to the company page and, by extension, all other DMS colleagues using Linkedin. The Office of Communication invites you to become a link in the communications chain by retweeting DMS Twitter updates and sharing Linkedin and Facebook posts. This will inform your friends, family and community about the great things we do here at DMS and will help spread the word across Florida. If you have questions or concerns about social media use, please contact our Community Outreach Coordinator, Rachel Lawley, at 850-410-0804. Sincerely, CRAIG In This Issue Upcoming FSECC Events Upcoming FSECC Events Tech Tip: Combat Information Leaks The 2014-15 Florida State Employees' Charitable Campaign is in full swing at DMS. Visit the FSECC website for paperless pledging through the Giving Nexus. The system allows for cash, check and payroll donations and automatically generates a receipt. It’s as simple as “Point, Click, and Pledge!” Agency Job Vacancies Pizza Lunch The Division of State Purchasing will host a Pizza Lunch Friday, Oct. 24 in the Building 4050 lobby. From 11:30 – 1:30, you can bring a pledge receipt for admittance. Just $5 will buy you two pieces of pizza and one canned drink. The division will be serving cheese and pepperoni pizzas. Jeans Week For each $5 donation to an FSECC charity of choice, you may dress down for one work week before Oct. 31. You may purchase multiple Jeans Week tickets (subject to supervisor approval). Deliver cash or check payable to the FSECC with the online receipt (or payroll deduction receipt alone) to HRM or Division of Retirement FSECC Coordinators: Mailea Adams 4050-235C Marian Deadwiley 4050-235.4Z Matthew Gregory 4050-235.4X Brenda Sadberry 4050-235.3Z Deirdre (Dee) Bell Winewood, Bldg. 3     Your coordinator will provide you a copy of the Dress Code Policy. You will receive four stickers for each $5. Please write the date of your selected week on the sticker. Inform your supervisor of the chosen week and get your supervisor’s initials on the sticker. Popcorn Sale Stop by our old-fashioned popcorn machine. It costs $1 per bag and the proceeds are in-kind donations that go towards our fundraising events. Popcorn sales will take place from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. at the following times and locations: Date Location Wednesday, Oct. 22 and 29 Building 4050 lobby Tuesday, Oct. 28 Building 3 DMS 2014-215 FSECC – What’s Your Superpower? [Return to top] Tech Tip: Combat Information Leaks You may have heard about the recent leak of 7 million usernames and passwords used for Dropbox, a cloud storage service. Attackers used stolen credentials to attempt to log in to multiple Internet sites. The Dropbox attack highlights the importance of password security. This is a great time to begin regularly changing your passwords. It is for the same reason you have to change your passwords on your computer here at DMS, and many other state systems, like People First. By regularly changing your password, you lessen any potential threat from information leaks. Make it unique; use a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols; and avoid using anything obvious—like family members, pets, birthdays or anniversaries. A strong password does not contain complete words. When possible, sign up for two-step verification, sometimes called twofactor authentication. Also, avoid reusing the same username or password for multiple sites. Think of it this way, you wouldn’t use the same lock and key for your home, car and safety deposit box, so vary your cyber “locks and keys” as well.
