The number of drivers on Canadian roads is now around 8 million and rising every day, which means more and more opportunities for accidents and injuries. However, with more driver-assist technologies to help prevent accidents and, ultimately, injuries these opportunities should be decreasing. Are they? Well, not yet but there is hope.

When you think of Newfoundland & Labrador, fishing may come to mind, and why not? It’s what the province was founded on when the first settlers discovered our rocky shores - intrepid fishermen, baiting their lines and casting their nets. Fast forward 500 years and a new form of baiting – called phishing - is on the rise and the financial implications are huge.

Deals, Steals & The Online Ordeal | Tips For Avoiding Online Scams

Tis the season! With Christmas just around the corner, online shopping is getting in full throttle with the upcoming #BlackFriday & #CyberMonday sales. It's a killer combination, fishing for sweet deals on Christmas gifts while enjoying a cup of joe in one hand and shop till you drop on your laptop in the other.

However, you aren't the only ones cashing in on all the holiday sales. Hackers will be going phishing... and your wallet & personal info is their ultimate catch.

Dash Cams, T Swift, and the Burden of Proof

Written by Wedgwood Insurance Limited on 2/23/2016 9:10 AM . It has 0 Comments.

It's that moment they warn you about. Melissa was at the point of no return when the light turned yellow. Cue the slow motion chain of events that found her locking bumpers with a young man in the intersecting lane, who had flown thru what we knew would be a green light. He told the police officer she had run a red light. But Melissa had something the other driver didn't... proof.

ANATOMY OF A CYBER SCAM

Written by Tom Hickey on 5/4/2015 10:00 AM . It has 0 Comments.

How Wedgwood was targeted and how our processes prevented a $35,000 scam…. Anyone who thinks Cyber Risk is only for large companies is mistaken. While complex cyber attacks on large corporations get all the news, it’s the smaller, well organized scams targeting small and medium size businesses that are doing the damage. It’s going on every day, businesses are being scammed, and nobody is talking about it. On December 12th, 2014 a very authentic looking email was received at our office, that appeared to be an internal email, requesting our administration department to wire transfer $35,000. A word document was attached with instructions. The tone of the email was very authentic. Note that the domain on the “From email’ has been changed to .co from .com. - everywhere else in the message, the wedgwoodinsurance.com domain remains unchanged. Unless you read the email VERY carefully, it would be very easy for this to go unnoticed. Wedgwood has a verification policy before any wi ...

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Written by Tom Hickey on 9/25/2013 10:00 AM . It has 0 Comments.

One of the important risk areas we try and educate clients about is Reputation Risk and the impact Social Media can have on your company's brand and the Personal Brand of the people who work there.

Municipalities across Newfoundland held elections last night. As a voter in St. John's, I followed the election with some interest. Obviously many people didn't since the overall voter turnout was only around 53%. Some of the apathy around Federal and Provincial politics is somewhat understandable since national politics may often seem far removed from the daily life of many individuals.
