The Massachusetts Data Privacy Act (MDPA) is also known as 201 CMR 17.00, a regulation that outlines data privacy requirements in Massachusetts.

The MDPA went into effect on March 1, 2010, meaning companies must have been compliant since then.

The MDPA applies to all businesses, regardless of size or industry, operating in Massachusetts.

Public WiFi hotspots are not exempt from cybersecurity best practices; they require security precautions.

The MDPA mandates a Written Information Security Program (WISP) for companies to demonstrate their commitment to data security.

Social engineering attacks can involve leaving infected USB drives in public locations to trick users into plugging them in.

Vishing attacks use phone calls to impersonate trusted entities to gain confidential information.

Public WiFi networks can be insecure and pose a risk of cyberattacks. Always use caution and consider secure alternatives.

Remote phishing emails may contain malicious links or attachments that trick recipients into giving away their information.
