Picked up two books at the thrift store today, James Patterson Countdown and Lee Childs The Affair. Kim put them both in the freezer after watching the latest King of the Hill episode about bed bugs being spread by a lending library. Apparently it's a thing.
I bring in specially trained dogs four times a year to sniff for bed bugs. I meet them at 11pm shut off all the hvac equipment and they walk around the entire library. I also have a service spray our study rooms every other month. The dogs need 30 days minimum between sprays. Bed bugs won’t stay in books very long, they will go looking for a food source. Those **** are hitchhikers, I do what we can to prevent an incident.
Members of the Department of Government Efficiency uploaded a copy of a crucial Social Security database in June to a vulnerable cloud server, putting the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans at risk of being leaked or hacked, according to a whistle-blower complaint filed by the Social Security Administration’s chief data officer.
The database contains records of all Social Security numbers issued by the federal government. It includes individuals’ full names, addresses and birth dates, among other details that could be used to steal their identities, making it one of the nation’s most sensitive repositories of personal information.
