Waldo County officials today notified county employees they may have been impacted by a theft of personal data.
On Monday, Feb. 5, W-2 forms for Waldo County employees were obtained by an anonymous individual or individuals as part of a “phishing” attack, according to a press release.

Upon realizing it was not a legitimate request for information, Waldo County officials contacted the county’s attorney and data breach experts at Bernstein Shur to put in place a rapid response plan.
About 100 employees were potentially impacted by the data theft. Waldo County officials notified the Sheriff’s Department, Maine Attorney General and the FBI of the breach today and will cooperate with any investigation.

The upper house of the Czech parliament has backed US plans to install part of a missile defence shield on Czech soil.
The deal still has to be approved by the lower house, where the opposition is against the shield.
The US wants to build a radar on Czech soil and put 10 interceptor rockets in Poland as a defence against what Washington describes as "rogue" states.
Russia sees the shield as a direct threat and has said it will deploy new missiles in the Baltic in response.
Earlier this month, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Moscow would deploy short-range Iskander missiles in the Kaliningrad region to "neutralise" the US shield.
Russia later said it wanted to discuss the issue with the incoming administration of Democrat Barack Obama, who will replace George W Bush as US president in January.

Bond traders have always been thought of as smart money. The math of the bond market is significantly more complex than is the math of stocks, so there might be some truth to that way of thinking.
Recently, professional bond traders seem to have become nervous at the same time individuals have been buyers. Based on history, when smart money sells to individual investors, it usually ends badly for individuals.
Royal Bank of Scotland data show investors in junk bond exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have withdrawn more than $500 million since the beginning of the year, according to Bloomberg. At the same time, mutual funds reported $1 billion of new deposits.
ETFs have become popular with hedge funds and other institutional investors. The funds are highly liquid and allow large traders to move quickly between markets. Mutual funds remain popular among individual investors and are usually viewed as long-term investments.
Individuals are chasing yield since interest rates are so low, leading them to junk bond funds. This switch into junk bond mutual funds is what we should expect to see as small investors try to find more income in a low-income world.
What individuals may not know is that junk bonds, or high-yield bonds, tend to deliver bond-like returns in a bull market and crash along with stocks in a bear market. Junk bonds also have historically turned down before stocks.
iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (HYG), one of the largest junk bond ETFs, has been moving lower since the end of January. That could be a bad sign for the stock market and traders should consider reducing their exposure to equities now, while stock prices are near record highs.
And what to say instead.
Whether you're lucky enough to have a great boss or have an uncomfortably rocky relationship with your manager, it pays to put some thought into your interactions. The language you use with your boss could end up dictating whether you get promoted, end up on the chopping block, or fall somewhere in between. With that i...
1. "That's not in my job description."
We all have our share of grunt work to tackle on the job, whether we're entry-level assistants or senior-level executives. So if you're asked to do something that's outside your purview, don't be so quick to push back. Rather, be a good sport and comply, especially if it's the first time you're being put in that positi...
Furthermore, if you're going to push back, do so on the basis of being too busy, as opposed to being too good for the lowly or undesirable task your manager attempts to assign. Saying, "I'm afraid that doing this will cause me to miss my project deadline" sounds a lot better than "That's not what you hired me to do."
2. "That's not what you said."
In the course of our jobs, we're often put in situations where there's some miscommunication. But if that happens, and your boss calls you out for not following instructions, don't bite back by insisting you're in the right and he or she is in the wrong. Unless you have documented proof that your boss said what you cla...
Even if you have that proof -- say, your manager sent instructions in writing, and is now backtracking and trying to put the blame on you -- be polite about it. Pull up that email and say something like "I really thought I was following these instructions precisely. Please show me where I went wrong, and let's see how ...
3. "It's not my fault."
We all make mistakes at work. So if your boss calls you out on one, own up to it rather than deflect the blame. Even if you aren't at fault, there's a politically correct way to make that clear. For example, say your manager asks you to provide an estimate for a project, and you use your colleague's inaccurate data to ...
4. "It can't be done."
Maybe your boss wants you to turn around a major report in two hours, when you know it would normally take five to get that sort of task done. Tempting as it may be to throw your hands up in the air and state that it can't be done, find a way to get it done to some degree. You might say "I can turn around the first hal...
Here's a news flash: Life isn't fair, and that applies to office life as well. So yes, maybe you're being asked to work late for the second time this month when your colleague who sits next you has yet to be asked, but for the love of job security, don't mouth off to your boss about how unjust that situation is. You ne...
Now if it becomes obvious that your boss is blatantly treating you unfairly -- say, you're always working late while every single other member of your team clocks out at 5 p.m. consistently -- then that gives you a leg to stand on. But think long and hard before moaning about one-off requests. And if you do complain, d...
Saying the wrong thing to your boss can come back to haunt you. Avoid these career-zapping phrases, and you'll be a happier employee for it in the long run.
LONDON (AP) — We meet again, Mr. Bond — or maybe not.
Britain’s MI6 intelligence service has made its first-ever television ad, aiming to banish macho James Bond-style imagery and attract more women and ethnic-minority recruits.

Many union leaders have pledged to launch sustained campaigns against government attacks this autumn. Teachers have been balloting for strikes. Leaders of the NUT and NASUWT teaching unions say they will strike together to defend their pensions, conditions and pay.
Other public sector unions, including the PCS and the UCU, have said they will join strikes too.
When unions have called action it has been successful. The magnificent strike on 30 November last year, which brought together 2.6 million workers across 26 different unions, showed the potential for resistance.
That action should have been followed up with more united, hard-hitting strikes. Millions of workers had the power to stop the government in its tracks.
Yet many union leaders failed to capitalise on the mood among ordinary people to fight. Some walked away from the battlefield overnight. Others waited for someone else to take a lead—while the momentum of struggle drained away.
The Tories have only just begun their assault on our class. Their plans will devastate the lives of working class people for decades to come. The only way to stop the attacks is to fight, and the TUC demo on 20 October is a chance to launch a new wave of struggle.
High blood pressure is a dangerous condition that can damage your heart. It affects one in three people in the US and 1 billion people worldwide (1, 2).
If left uncontrolled, it raises your risk of heart disease and stroke.
But there's good news. There are a number of things you can do to lower your blood pressure naturally, even without medication.
Here are 15 natural ways to combat high blood pressure.
Exercise is one of the best things you can do to lower high blood pressure.
Regular exercise helps make your heart stronger and more efficient at pumping blood, which lowers the pressure in your arteries.
In fact, 150 minutes of moderate exercise, such as walking, or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise, such as running, per week can help lower blood pressure and improve your heart health (3, 4).
What's more, doing even more exercise reduces your blood pressure even further, according to the National Walkers' Health Study (5).
Bottom Line: Walking just 30 minutes a day can help lower your blood pressure. More exercise helps reduce it even further.
Salt intake is high around the world. In large part, this is due to processed and prepared foods.
For this reason, many public health efforts are aimed at lowering salt in the food industry (6).
In many studies, salt has been linked to high blood pressure and heart events, like stroke (7, 8).
However, more recent research indicates that the relationship between sodium and high blood pressure is less clear (9, 10).
One reason for this may be genetic differences in how people process sodium. About half of people with high blood pressure and a quarter of people with normal levels seem to have a sensitivity to salt (11).
If you already have high blood pressure, it's worth cutting back your sodium intake to see if it makes a difference. Swap out processed foods with fresh ones and try seasoning with herbs and spices, rather than salt.
Bottom Line: Most guidelines for lowering blood pressure recommend lowering sodium intake. However, that recommendation might make the most sense for people who are salt-sensitive.
Drinking alcohol can raise blood pressure. In fact, alcohol is linked to 16% of high blood pressure cases around the world (12).
While some research has suggested that low-to-moderate amounts of alcohol may protect the heart, those benefits may be offset by negative effects (12).
In the US, moderate alcohol consumption is defined as no more than one drink a day for women and two for men. If you drink more than that, cut back.
Bottom Line: Drinking alcohol in any quantity may raise your blood pressure. Limit your drinking to no more than one drink a day for women, two for men.
Potassium is an important mineral.
It helps your body get rid of sodium and ease pressure on your blood vessels.
Modern diets have increased most people's sodium intake while decreasing potassium intake (13).
To get a better balance of potassium to sodium in your diet, focus on eating fewer processed foods and more fresh, whole foods.
Bottom Line: Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, which are rich in potassium, can help lower blood pressure.
If you've ever downed a cup of coffee before you've had your blood pressure taken, you'll know that caffeine causes an instant boost.
However, there's not a lot of evidence to suggest that drinking caffeine regularly can cause a lasting increase (14).
In fact, people who drink caffeinated coffee and tea tend to have a lower risk of heart disease, including high blood pressure, than those who don't (15, 16, 17, 18).
Caffeine may have a stronger effect on people who don't consume it regularly (19).
If you suspect you're caffeine-sensitive, cut back to see if it lowers your blood pressure (20).
Bottom Line: Caffeine can cause a short-term spike in blood pressure, although for many people it does not cause a lasting increase.
Stress is a key driver of high blood pressure.
When you're chronically stressed, your body is in a constant fight-or-flight mode. On a physical level, that means a faster heart rate and constricted blood vessels.
When you experience stress, you might also be more likely to engage in other behaviors, such as drinking alcohol or eating unhealthy food, that can negatively affect blood pressure.
Listen to soothing music: Calming music can help relax your nervous system. Research has shown it's an effective complement to other blood pressure therapies (21, 22).
Work less: Working a lot, and stressful work situations in general, are linked to high blood pressure (23, 24).
Bottom Line: Chronic stress can contribute to high blood pressure. Finding ways to manage stress can help.
Here's a piece of advice you can really get behind.
While eating massive amounts of chocolate probably won't help your heart, small amounts may.
That's because dark chocolate and cocoa powder are rich in flavonoids, plant compounds that cause blood vessels to dilate (25).
A review of studies found that flavonoid-rich cocoa improved several markers of heart health over the short term, including lowering blood pressure (26).
