FriendsConnect Security Information

The FriendsConnect wireless system team takes great care to ensure that you will be safe when using the wireless access at WVU Hospitals. However, there are limits to what our team can do — ultimately, your personal computer's security is managed by you.

Protect Yourself Online
Staying safe online is a combination of running up-to-date operating system, anti-virus and spyware software, with common sense browsing and e-mail habits. WVUH and FriendConnect staff will NEVER ASK YOU FOR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION. This includes any identifiable information about you, credit card numbers or e-mail address. If you have any technical questions about the FriendsConnect system, please call Westco at 304-983-8600 for assistance.
