Frank Elsner Releases a Three-Tier Security Plan for Busy People

Published

on

  • Frank Elsner, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, shares a time-boxed plan individuals can use to cut common security risks without turning life into a full-time project.

British Columbia, Canada, 25th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Most people do not fail at security because they do not care. They fail because they are busy. Bills, messages, logins, kids, work, errands. Risk sneaks in during the rush.

At the same time, the stakes keep climbing. IBM reports the global average cost of a breach reached USD $4.88 million. Verizon reports the human element was involved in 68% of breaches. Verizon also reports ransomware was present in 32% of breaches. The FBI’s IC3 reports 859,532 complaints and reported losses exceeding $16 billion.

This release outlines a practical plan built for limited time and attention, based on repeatable habits and a short checklist mindset.

Early warning signs matter, and small signals get missed most often when people feel hurried.

“Early in my career, I watched a small issue turn into a national headline because no one wanted to escalate it.”
“In intelligence work, the biggest failures happen when people dismiss small signals. A strange pattern in data. A rumor. A minor breach.”
“In policing, we trained constantly. You do not wait for a crisis to test your system. You practice before it counts.”
“When I moved into corporate leadership, I stopped talking about threats first. I talked about downtime. Insurance costs. Regulatory exposure. Once you frame risk in business language, boards pay attention.”

The Practical Plan for Limited Time

The 10-Minute Plan

Best for: People who want quick protection today.

Steps (10 minutes total):

  • Turn on two-step verification for your main email account.

  • Change your email password to a long passphrase (12+ words beats 12 characters).

  • Add a second recovery method (backup email or phone).

  • Pick one rule for money requests: never act from a message alone, always verify via a second channel.

Expected outcomes:

  • Harder for account takeovers to stick

  • Faster recovery if something goes wrong

  • Fewer rushed payments based on fake urgency

The 30-Minute Plan

Best for: People who want a stronger setup with a bit more coverage.

Steps (30 minutes total):

  • Do the full 10-minute plan.

  • Turn on two-step verification for banking, payment apps, and your primary social account.

  • Review account recovery settings for those services. Remove old emails or phone numbers.

  • Create a simple contact list called “Verify List” with 3 to 5 trusted people (family, work lead, bank contact line).

  • Set one “pause trigger”: if a message says urgent, time-sensitive, or confidential, you stop and verify.

Expected outcomes:

  • Fewer weak links across key accounts

  • Lower chance of losing money through rushed approvals

  • A clear habit that blocks most social engineering attempts

The 2-Hour Weekend Plan

Best for: People who want a clean, repeatable system.

Steps (2 hours total):

  • Do the full 30-minute plan.

Make a short “recovery sheet” (notes app or printed page) with:

  • Bank phone number

  • Credit provider phone number

  • Key account recovery steps

  • A list of accounts that matter most

Set alerts:

  • Bank transaction alerts

  • Card-not-present alerts if your bank supports it

Clean up old access:

  • Sign out of old devices where possible

  • Remove unknown sessions

Run one practice drill:

  • Pretend you lost your phone

  • Write the exact steps you would take in the first 15 minutes

Create a monthly 10-minute “account check” reminder:

  • Review alerts

  • Review recovery options

  • Spot anything strange

Expected outcomes:

  • Clear recovery steps under pressure

  • Less panic if an account gets hit

  • A simple routine that keeps protection from decaying over time

What to Avoid

  • Clicking fast because it feels routine

  • Acting on money requests from a single message

  • Reusing the same password across important accounts

  • Leaving old recovery emails and phone numbers attached to accounts

  • Treating security as a one-time setup instead of a light monthly habit

  • Ignoring small anomalies like unexpected login prompts or odd account emails

Start with the 10-minute plan today. Set a timer. Do the four steps. Then choose the 30-minute plan this week or the 2-hour weekend plan when you want a stronger reset.

Published

on

Fakt-O-Ring and Fakt-O-Band integrate with Medifakt’s mobile health platform and exchange-listed FAKT token to power a privacy-first, user-owned digital health ecosystem

Estonia, 25th February 2026, Medifakt announced the continued expansion of its connected digital health ecosystem through the integration of its Smart Wearable Devices the Fakt-O-Ring and Fakt-O-Band, with its mobile health application and Web3-enabled infrastructure layer.

 

Designed at the intersection of healthcare, wearable technology, and decentralized digital infrastructure, Medifakt is building a unified ecosystem where individuals can monitor, manage, and engage with their health data while maintaining transparency, security, and control.

A Connected Health Ecosystem, Not Just Devices

Unlike traditional fitness trackers that focus on isolated metrics, Medifakt’s smart wearables are designed as core components of a connected health ecosystem. The smart ring and smart band continuously capture key wellness and activity signals and securely synchronize with the Medifakt app, where data is organized into structured reports and daily health summaries.

Users can select the device that best fits their lifestyle, whether the discreet, always-on form factor of the smart ring or the activity-focused versatility of the smart band, while accessing the same unified app experience.

The ecosystem combines:

  • Continuous wearable-based health monitoring
    • A mobile-first health intelligence platform
    • Virtual healthcare access
    • Blockchain-enabled infrastructure for data integrity and interoperability
    • An ecosystem token (FAKT) designed to support platform participation

This integrated framework positions Medifakt beyond consumer wearables, toward a structured, scalable digital health ecosystem.

Smart Wearables Designed for Daily Health Awareness

The Fakt-O-Ring and Fakt-O-Band are engineered to provide continuous wellness tracking within a comfortable, everyday form factor.

Key functional capabilities include:

Continuous Health Monitoring
Wearable-driven tracking designed to support daily awareness of key wellness indicators.

Seamless Mobile Synchronization
Automatic data synchronization with the Medifakt mobile application for structured reporting and visualization.

Lifestyle Flexibility
Users can choose between the discreet, always-on smart ring or the activity-oriented smart band, while accessing the same unified app ecosystem.

Ecosystem Integration Architecture
Devices are built to integrate directly with user profiles, structured reports, and virtual care features within the Medifakt app.

Privacy-First Engineering
Data visibility and control remain user-managed, aligned with Medifakt’s transparent data-handling principles.

The Medifakt App: Turning Wearable Data Into Clarity

The Medifakt mobile application acts as the central hub of the ecosystem. Through the app, users can:

  • Review structured health check-ups and wellness summaries
  • Track trends derived from wearable data over time
  • Manage personal health profiles securely
  • Access virtual consultations with qualified healthcare professionals
  • Engage with optional, non-monetary participation-based features that encourage consistent health tracking

The platform is designed to support better understanding and more informed health conversations, rather than replacing professional medical care.

Web3-Enabled Infrastructure and Exchange Visibility

As part of its broader ecosystem strategy, Medifakt is also building a Web3-enabled digital health infrastructure designed to support transparency, interoperability, and future innovation.

The Medifakt ecosystem token, FAKT, is currently listed on leading digital asset exchanges, including MEXC (FAKT is live on MEXC (FAKT/USDT) https://www.mexc.com/exchange/FAKT_USDT) , providing global visibility for the ecosystem layer that supports Medifakt’s long-term platform vision.

The token listing is intended to support ecosystem participation and infrastructure development and is not positioned as a financial product or investment offering.

Designed for the Future of Connected Healthcare

By combining smart wearables, a secure mobile app, virtual healthcare access, and Web3-ready infrastructure, Medifakt is positioning itself as a next-generation consumer health platform built for how healthcare is evolving more connected, more digital, and more user-centric.

The ecosystem is designed to scale over time, supporting future integrations while keeping individuals firmly in control of their health data and engagement.

About Medifakt

Jason Sheasby Highlights How Innovation Disputes Shape Daily Life in Los Angeles

Published

on

  • Jason Sheasby, a Los Angeles-based partner at Irell & Manella LLP, points to the local ripple effects of intellectual property and technology disputes on jobs, healthcare, and consumer costs.

California, US, 25th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Jason Sheasby, a partner at Irell & Manella LLP in Los Angeles, is drawing attention to a broader issue that reaches far beyond courtrooms: the way technology and intellectual property disputes can affect everyday life locally, from the cost of devices to the speed of medical innovation and the stability of high-skilled jobs.

In recent years, Los Angeles and the wider region have become a major hub for tech talent and venture-backed innovation. CBRE reports the Los Angeles and Orange County region’s tech talent workforce reached 258,640 workers and includes 13,605 AI specialists. Colliers reports Los Angeles venture capital funding reached nearly $12.0 billion in 2025 across more than 720 deals, and Greater Los Angeles, including Orange County, recorded $17.7 billion.

As innovation accelerates, disputes over patents, licensing, and competition often follow. In 2024, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted 324,042 patents, up 4% from 2023, reflecting continued growth in patent activity.

Sheasby’s recent matters have involved semiconductors, telecommunications standards, and biomedical technologies. Those sectors are not abstract categories in Los Angeles. They connect to the local workforce, local universities, and the health and technology products residents use daily.

Selected lines that capture the broader issue

From a recent feature profile:

  1. “The verdict in the Netlist case came swiftly.”

  2. “His practice moves easily between patents, trade secrets, antitrust claims, regulatory compliance, and internal investigations.”

  3. “In a legal landscape often dominated by settlements and quiet resolutions, Sheasby’s career has been defined by verdicts.”

  4. “The modern economy runs on code, semiconductors, biomedical breakthroughs, and global standards.”

Local context and comparisons

  • The Los Angeles and Orange County region’s tech talent workforce grew 13% from 2018 to 2023, reaching 258,640 workers.

  • The region is reported as the fourth-largest North American market for AI specialists, with 13,605.

  • Los Angeles venture capital funding reached nearly $12.0 billion in 2025 across 720+ deals, per Colliers.

  • Greater Los Angeles venture capital funding totaled $17.7 billion in 2025, ranking third nationally behind the SF Bay Area and the NY tri-state area, per the same report.

  • The USPTO granted 324,042 patents in 2024, up 4% from 2023, underscoring the scale of innovation that often drives licensing and infringement disputes.

Local action list: 10 steps to take this week

  1. Read the IP terms on one key tool you use at work (software, AI tool, or platform) and note what you can and cannot share.

  2. If you run a small business, inventory your brand assets: name, logo, product names, and key content. Keep them in one document.

  3. Turn on two-factor authentication for work email and cloud storage to reduce the most common forms of account compromise.

  4. If you build products, create a simple invention log: dates, sketches, meeting notes, and version history.

  5. If you hire contractors, confirm who owns what in the contract for code, designs, and written work.

  6. For founders, add a one-page IP checklist to onboarding: confidential info, permitted tools, and file handling rules.

  7. For employees, keep personal side projects separate from employer devices and accounts.

  8. For parents, talk to teens about copying and remixing online content and what “ownership” can mean in school and work.

  9. Support a local science or engineering program, even in a small way, through a community college, school foundation, or nonprofit partner.

  10. Pick one product you buy often and look up whether there is a local company making an alternative, then try it once.

How to find trustworthy local resources

  • Start with credible institutions: local university tech transfer offices, reputable bar association referral services, and established small business development centres.

  • Look for plain-language policies and clear fee structures. Avoid providers that promise guaranteed outcomes in legal disputes or rights enforcement.

  • When seeking legal help, confirm the lawyer’s licensing status through the State Bar of California and ask who will actually handle your matter.

Take one local step today: write down the one innovation you are building, protecting, or relying on, then take one concrete action from the list above to safeguard it this week.
