Cybersecurity tips you need to know to stay cyber-safe this holiday season
How can I keep my team safe from fraudsters operating gift card holiday scams?
Gift cards have fewer consumer protections, making them one of social actors’ absolute favorite stocking stuffers. Keep your employees and your organization safe. Don’t buy gift cards from social media sites, don’t purchase gift cards from auction sites and exercise caution when purchasing from new-to-you third-party websites specifically requesting gift card payments.
What should my team know about shipping notification E-mails?
Fake shipping notifications are a favorite phishing E-mail for holiday scammers. The E-mails may look credible, but don’t let your team be fooled. Clicking on a link in a phony shipping notification E-mail provides an opening for hackers to download malware onto your team’s devices and gain access to them. Be suspicious of E-mails with panicked subject lines such as, "DELIVERY ISSUE!" or "Delivery Failure Notification." Always look into the real site – never click the link within the E-mail.
What should my team be aware of before giving to charities this holiday season?
Social actors create fake charities to exploit the good nature of those around them. Do your research before giving to any charitable organization. Never give in the form of gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency. When possible, confirm a charity’s legitimacy through such organizations as Charity Navigator or the FTC.
What information can I share with my team as they do their online shopping?
Beware of fake holiday websites or storefronts, otherwise known as copycat websites. Such sites might look legitimate from known retailers but were, in fact, created by holiday scammers. Don’t be pressured and take your time and evaluate the webpage. Always check the website URL before completing a purchase and If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
