Cybersecurity Awareness Month

 


It is Cybersecurity Month! Every year, many people fall into scams. Many junk e-mails have links with viruses. Make sure you have an anti-virus program for your e-mails. Also, do not click on every link from e-mails. 

Pay attention to the e-mail addresses of the sender. Be careful with downloading pictures from e-mails. Report and block unwanted e-mail. Do not fall into the trap of scam e-mails such as receiving an inheritance, compromising pictures, or videos with compromising images. You will end up losing money or get a computer virus. 

Do not leave your computer and electronic devices unattended. Lock the screen or shut down your devices when not in use. Review your bank statements and credit card statements. Make sure everything is current and there is nothing suspicious. Update the electronic software and run anti-virus software in all your electronics. 

Read about the new scams. Turn off your wi-fi when not in use. Back up your data, pictures, and family videos. Do not share your passwords with anyone on the telephone, live chats, or anywhere online.  Here are links about cybersecurity.
