About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Console & Associates, P.C.: Wilton Reassurance Data Breach Leaks the Social Security Numbers of 1,482,490 Consumers

By: PRLog

More than 1.4 million consumers are being notified that their Social Security numbers and other confidential information were compromised when hackers were able to exploit a vulnerability in file-transfer software used by a third-party vendor of Wilton Reassurance Company.

MARLTON, N.J. - June 26, 2023 - PRLog -- The sensitive personal data of 1,482,490 Wilton Reassurance customers has been compromised as a result of a zero-day vulnerability in software used by PBI Research Services, a third-party vendor of Wilton Reassurance (Wilton Re). Now, consumers' full names and Social Security numbers may be in the hands of criminals who can use the stolen information to carry out various schemes, such as identity theft and other frauds.

The data breach attorneys at the law firm of Console & Associates, P.C. are looking into claims on behalf of Wilton Re customers and anyone else affected, hoping to fully inform them of the risks they face as a result of the breach and what legal rights they have in its aftermath.

On June 16, 2023, Wilton Re filed a notice of data breach with the Attorney General of Maine describing a third-party data breach affecting consumers nationwide. Wilton Re explained that the incident resulted from a third-party vendor's use of the managed file transfer software created by Progress Software, MOVEit. Evidently, Wilton Re was notified by its vendor, PBI Research Services, that a vulnerability in the MOVEit file-transfer software allowed hackers to download confidential consumer data.

According to the notice, the data breach affected an estimated 1,482,490 customers.

The list of sensitive information that was exposed includes names and Social Security numbers.

If you receive a data breach notice from Wilton Reassurance, you could now be at risk of identity theft—and the life-changing financial and legal consequences that follow in its wake.

Wilton Re indicated that it is providing victims with 12 months of free identity theft protection and credit monitoring services. However, while victims should enroll in this service immediately, it is not sufficient to protect them from the risks of a data breach.

What to Do if You Receive a Wilton Reassurance Data Breach Letter

Individuals who receive a data breach letter from Wilton Reassurance should take all necessary steps to protect themselves. (See our Guide for Victims of Data Breach for more details at https://www.myinjuryattorney.com/consumer-privacy-data-breach-lawyers/if-your-information-has-been-compromised-in-a-data-breach/.) Additionally, data breach victims should consider speaking with a data breach lawyer immediately. Those individuals in receipt of a Wilton Reassurance data breach letter may be entitled to financial compensation.
