Scammers are constantly keeping score, and analyzing your stats. Now it’s your turn to get in the game and beat the odds.
When considering the validity of an email, don’t forget to use…. The SLAM Method!
- Sender: Analyze the Sender’s email address carefully.
- Links: Hover your mouse over links, without clicking. To see their true path.
- Attachments: Use caution when opening unsolicited or unexpected attachments.
- Message: Watch for misspellings and “out of character” phrasing, within the body of an email.
The cybersecurity world can be pretty chaotic with all the different scams to keep an eye out for, but by staying organized, you can prioritize what cybersecurity concerns to address first.
Some websites are meant to look flashy and enticing. But don’t let looks fool you. Scammers are trying to make their sites look legitimate too, and they have the funding to do so. Do your research! Check reviews and comments. Whether it be a sports website, or a new online store, be sure to research unknown platforms before diving in with your credit card number and personal information.
If your company suffered a breach, or if your personal information was leaked into the Dark Web, what actions would you take next to protect yourself?
