Avoid Phishing Scams
Cyber criminals are taking advantage of the current Covid-19 outbreak as an opportunity to launch greater numbers of phishing attempts. Phishing is the fraudulent practice of sending emails pretending to be from recognizable companies to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers. Phishing attempts often direct users to input personal information by linking to a fake website that looks like a legitimate site.
It is important to be vigilant and follow best practice guidelines when communicating through email.
