Everyone has heard of the cyber security attacks on Target (2013), Home Depot (2014), Neiman Marcus (2014), Sony Pictures (2014), and the United States' second-largest health insurer, Anthem (reported February 2015), but have you heard of the security breaches for Aaron Brothers, Evernote (denial of service attack), P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Community Health Services, Goodwill Industries, SuperValu, Bartell Hotels, Dairy Queen, U.S. Transportation Command contractors, and more.

Probably not. Even I hadn't heard of these breaches until I did some research for this article. And these were just some of the larger chains (just not large enough for nationwide media attention).

So it's not just that the massive names and brands are being targeted for cyber security attacks. Instead, it's small- to medium-sized businesses that are receiving the brunt of the attacks. In fact, they are enduring more attacks than the big guys we just aren't hearing about it in the media.

According to Experian's 2015 2nd Annual Data Breach Industry Forecast, "the risk of experiencing a data breach is higher than ever with almost half of organizations suffering at least one security incident in the last 12 months."

So why are so many smaller businesses becoming the target of cyber attacks? It's not because they don't have the right procedures and the right security personnel in place to prevent attacks. Far from it: Experian's data breach report stated that "48 percent organizations [surveyed] increased their investments in security technologies spending" in 2014.

So why as companies understand the need to add features and 24/7 surveillance to their security systems are more and more companies getting hit?

Beefing up your security is a good thing, of course. But it can also lead to a false feeling of security. Spending considerable time and money on technology can lead to apathy. More to the point, it can lead to the perception that all is OK, that you're well-protected, and that you can sleep well at night, every night.

But such an assessment can lead to mistakes. Remember, your job is to run your business. Service your customers. Create great products and deliver terrific services. You need to make sure your bottom line stays healthy. That your employees are engaged and happy.

You have a considerable amount on your plate.

Cyber criminals, however, are focused on one thing only: finding your mistakes.

1. Solar panels are relatively inexpensive and straightforward to install compared to many other types of renewable-energy technology. Panels are usually fitted to a pitched roof, but they can be mounted on a wall, or a frame on the ground or a flat roof. Although they work on cloudy days, the panels need a sunny position to be most effective, so a south-facing position, which gets sun most of the day, is ideal.

2. There are two types of solar panel - ones that generate electricity, called solar photovoltaics or PV, and ones that heat water, called solar thermal. With both, you'll cut your energy bills and CO2 emissions, but the benefits don't end there.

3. Solar PV panels (the most popular type) can also earn you money through the Government's Feed-In Tariffs scheme. Providing your PV system qualifies, the scheme pays you for the electricity you generate and use and also for any surplus electricity you supply to the National Grid. According to the Energy Saving Trust (www.energysavingtrust.org.uk), an average 4kWp domestic PV system costs between 5,000 and 8,000 and in the south of England, should generate approximately enough electricity for a typical household.

4. The Energy Saving Trust says that a typical solar water-heating system costs around 3,000-5,000, but the savings you make will be moderate. As well as the solar panels, you'll need a boiler or immersion heater to give you additional hot water and sometimes to make the water heated by the panels hotter, especially in winter. You may also have to change your boiler and hot-water cylinder to ones compatible with the panels.

5. If your home's leasehold, you may need permission from the freeholder to install solar panels - the roof usually belongs to the freeholder. Restrictions may also apply if you live on 'designated land', such as conservation areas, and if the building's listed - ask your local council what you can and can't do. Where planning restrictions apply and solar panels aren't allowed, solar roof tiles or slates may be acceptable to the council's planning department.

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK

The Easter break is the perfect time to start whipping your garden into shape. Sheds, fences, gazebos and wooden furniture have probably taken a pounding over winter and if they're looking forlorn, there's no better way to protect and brighten them up than with Cuprinol Garden Shades (22 for one 2.5ltr tin, or 30 for two, B&Q).

This nice-to-use matt paint can be applied to all garden wood and provides four years of protection, but the best thing about it is the huge range of colours, from sophisticated neutrals to bright pinks, blues, greens and more, perfect for a pop of colour. I love Urban Slate, a gorgeous dark grey that looks fantastic on fences against flowers and greenery and works in all styles of garden.

Another big advantage of Cuprinol Garden Shades is that, unlike a lot of similar products, they can be sprayed on, which is a big time-saver. Use the Cuprinol Fence Sprayer (26.59, http://www.cuprinol.co.uk) and you'll get the job done in no time. Even without the sprayer, many of the colours cover in one coat, so there'll be time to enjoy your smart new garden this Easter.

Police have found the vehicle involved in the fatal hit and run accident on Harford Road in Fallston earlier this month.

Christian "Chris" John Widomski was struck near his home in the 2800 block of Harford Road in Fallston on the evening of March 5, while walking behind a snowblower he had borrowed from a neighbor, according to Maryland State Police.

The driver did not stop the dark colored Jeep Cherokee and continued north on Harford Road toward Route 152, police said.

Mr. Widomski was taken by ambulance to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in Bel Air where he was pronounced dead.

The vehicle "has been located," Sgt. Marc Black, spokesman for MSP said Tuesday afternoon. "No one has been charged. The investigation is ongoing."

He did not know where or when the vehicle was found, saying that investigators are still looking into it.

Law enforcement agencies have been on the lookout for the vehicle, which has a lift kit, flared fenders and a silver push bumper, in the nearly two weeks since the accident and have followed up on numerous leads.

Despite the search for the vehicle, the police accident report states Mr. Widomski was as fault because he was in the roadway "improperly."

Mr. Widomski coached basketball, soccer and baseball with the Fallston rec sports programs and worked as an electrician for Electrico, Co., according to his obituary.

Anyone with information is asked to call 410-879-2101.
