Phishing and Ransomware
This eLearning course is a recording from a webinar presented by the ADA Division of Information Technology and the ADA Division of Legal Affairs.
This course provides information a cyber security threat known as "ransomware," which is a type of malware that remotely locks computer files. The attacker then demands a "ransom" to unlock the files. Ransomware can be delivered via a "phishing" email, which attempts to trick the recipient into downloading the malware. The program discusses ways to help prevent a ransomware attack, ways to respond if an attack does occur, the HIPAA implications of a ransomware attack, and resources available from ADA and the federal government.
- Upon completion, participant will be able to define phishing and ransomware
- Upon completion, participant will be able to list some ways to help avoid becoming a victim of a ransomware attack
- Upon completion, participant will be able to describe some steps to consider taking if an attack occurs

Oral Cancer Screening and Radiotherapy Morbidity Management
Oral squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive epithelial malignancy that is the sixth most common neoplasm in the world today. Despite numerous advances in treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the long-term survival has remained poor. Further, radiotherapy can cause significant long-term morbidities. Therefore, the dental team plays a critical role in both the early detection of premalignant lesions and management of radiation sequela.
