Happy holidays!

Celebrate the seasons with a good sense of cyber security and protect your friends, family, and yourself.  During the holidays, Hackers take advantage of people being distracted and send an increased number of phishing scams, malware, and hacks.

Be sure to constantly pay attention to emails sent from unfamiliar usernames and never click on random links.  If the offer is too good to be true, it usually is.

For this holiday season make sure too:

– Verify information before sharing on social media, you could be sharing posts with malicious links attached,

– Only shop from trusted retailer websites, emails claiming to be big box stores, with fake websites will try to get you to put in your credit card information,

–Confirm purchases before opening delivery notification links, fake documents or links can infect your computer with one click,

-only download apps from your devices certified app store,

–Monitor bank account and credit activity, we’re only human, trust your cybersecurity habits but it’s best to verify,
