Cybersecurity tips pertaining to COVID-19 exploits
Dear Valued Customer,
It pains me to write this email. Of all the things you have to be worried about right now, cybersecurity SHOULD be on the bottom of the list. Unfortunately, it is not! Hackers are exploiting the situation. In fact, data shows they are actually ramping up attacks in the wake of the crisis. Many of these attacks are through phishing scams, but not all. There are spoofed medical and COVID-19 websites that will load malware and viruses on your computer and reports of phone scams. Hackers are also taking advantage of remote workers who are now working from less secure home networks and personal workstations.
While the ethical implications of this are unfathomable, computer users everywhere need to remain vigilant.
Here are some tips to keep in mind now and always!
Below is a great blog article with some more information as well as specific examples of Phishing scams.

Stay safe from both physical and computer viruses!
