How Do I Recognize a Phishing Email?
Phishing emails are typically fraudulent email messages which appear to come from legitimate sources (such as your university, Internet service provider, or your bank). These messages typically direct you to a spoofed website or attempt to get you to divulge private information (passphrase, credit card information, or other sensitive information). The goal of these scammers is to obtain this information and sell it for financial gain. #TechTips #Security #Phishing
Unsecure Wi-Fi
Out of thin air, your sensitive information can be stolen when connected to unsecure Wi-Fi.
Have you ever connected to the free Wi-Fi network at your favorite coffee shop, a hotel, or at an airport? We've all done it. While free Wi-Fi is conveniently everywhere these days, it doesn't mean the connection is secure. And if it's not secure, you, your device, your web browsing, and your sensitive information are at risk.
