CPA’s
in San Jose. Why so sneaky?
(I should have
remembered to anticipate press releases after 3 pm on the Friday of a
big holiday weekend. Here’s another one:)
On November 27, 2017, Veyna
& Forschino (V&F) encountered suspicious
activity on one company email account. V&F immediately began
investigating the matter and contacted its local IT firm who disabled
access. Further, V&F hired a specialized forensic IT firm to
assist in the investigation.
On December 8, 2017, the specialized third party
forensic IT firm determined that there was unauthorized access
between November 6, 2017 and November 24, 2017 to one company
computer workstation through a remote desktop application. In
addition to the one email account, the specialized third party
forensic IT firm determined that specific electronic files and V&F’s
2016 tax preparation software folder was accessed.
Information included individuals’ name, date of
birth, telephone number(s), address, Social Security number, all
employment (W-2) information, 1099 information (including account
number if provided to V&F), and direct deposit bank account
information (including account number and routing information if
provided to V&F). Each individual may have been impacted
differently.
… Protecting your information is incredibly
important to V&F. In addition to the above, V&F notified all
three consumer reporting bureaus, law enforcement, and the applicable
state agencies, and they are reviewing security policies and
procedures to ensure all appropriate steps are taken.

Something to read over the holidays?
A New
History of the Second World War
… temperance and Fascism do not mix, and the
outsized ambitions of the Axis powers put them on a collision course
with the massive geographical, managerial, and logistical advantages
possessed by the Allies, which, Hanson suggests, they should have
known would be insurmountable.
The Axis powers fell prey to their own mythmaking:
they were adept at creating narratives that made exceedingly unlikely
victories seem not just plausible but inevitable.
