October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and HOEC is proud to join this international initiative to keep our people, data and systems safer online, including critical infrastructure.

You can help by taking these four essential steps:

The Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives (AMEC) annually presents its Distinguished Service Award to someone who "selflessly and tirelessly devotes themselves to the progress of rural electrification." This year the award was presented to Dan Singletary, manager of Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative, West Plains.

Phishing attacks are a sneaky way for cybercriminals to trick you into revealing sensitive information, like your login credentials or financial details. To combat the threat of phishing attacks, HOEC has introduced an added layer of protection for your SmartHub account: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

You can enable 2FA on your SmartHub account today. In SmartHub Web you'll find it under Settings > Two-Factor Authentication. In the SmartHub Mobile App, look in More > Settings > Security > Two-Factor Authentication.
