Gotcha - This is a media pitch!
You are safe – but you could have been hacked by clicking on the link.
- With the holiday shopping season so early this year, cybercriminals are busier than ever!
- There’s been a nearly 90% increase in online scams since 2015 and with the constantly evolving nature of online threats – it’s critical that consumers know how to protect themselves.

I’d love to connect you with David so he can speak to the importance of:
- Robust security protections to keep your identity safe: what you can do at work and at home to keep systems updated and cybersecurity protections in place
- Signs it’s a scam: how to spot signs that an email, attachment, link, or website is suspicious
- Secure payments: why using your credit card, rather than a third-party app, offers the most protection
- Password protection: how to create strong passwords and keep them protected
