From phishing emails to fake text messages, scammers are getting more creative every day. Corderro visits The Army Residence Community to see how they are educating residents to spot the warning signs, protect their personal information, and stay one step ahead of online criminals.<\/p>\n
Corderro spoke with Director of Information and Technology Cindy Schimank who told us about the 4 P’s of cyber security. Phishing, phone calls, pop-ups, and passwords.<\/p>\n
If you are receiving an email or text that is from someone, you do not know it could be suspicious. Make sure you are being cautious about moving forward with those situations. If you get a phone call from someone who you do not know, let it go to voicemail. If it is important, they will leave you a message. If you answer the phone call, be cautious if the other person wants you to do something, login somewhere, or buy something urgently.<\/p>\n
Having strong passwords is incredibly important; it will make sure guessing your password will be difficult. Also keep them somewhere safe so you can recall these passwords later on.<\/p>\n
