Hey, North Fork! Once again, a town meeting has been Zoom-bombed, this time on Shelter Island, with "disturbing" and potentially illegal images and video shown. The incident follows a "heinous" death threat and racial slurs that took place during Southold Town Zoom meetings recently. These incidents highlight the need for vigilance in an evolving world reliant upon technology to communicate. We want to hear what you think can be done. Email Lisa.Finn@patch.com with your thoughts.

Stay warm and safe. Until tomorrow . . .
