Staying ahead of cybercriminals
Stay ahead of hackers and cybercriminals by understanding the tactics
they use to access your private data.
Ensure your software is up to date
Cybercriminals rely heavily upon software or platform vulnerabilities, as
they are the easiest way to sneak malware into a user's device
unnoticed, sometimes with little action on the user's part. Immediately
after a software manufacturer announces an update, hackers are ready
with malware that can breach holes in the software that would have
been patched if the update was installed.
How to stay safe: Perform any and all software updates as soon as they
are available.
Keep a lookout for fake or phishing emails
Beware of emails that appear to be from a friend or business colleague
that you know but seem a little odd. Maybe they didn't capitalize your
name or there are misspellings. The email might be from cybercriminals
