Help Me With HIPAA ·

2017/11/10

Text messaging is often the preferred method of communication for many people today. It does have great advantages with its simplicity, instant delivery, and convenience.

Mobile devices are susceptible to malware attacks, phishing, and other security vulnerabilities just the same as laptops and desktops.
