To protect yourself, never send money to unknown people or organizations and do not open web links from unwanted emails or text messages.
October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, and the RNC is reminding residents to take steps to protect themselves, families and businesses from digital crime. Police say Cybercriminals are using more and more sophisticated means to exploit online users and, with the rise of artificial intelligence, it can be even more difficult to detect scams. However, to protect yourself, never send money to unknown people or organizations and do not open web links from unwanted emails or text messages. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks when making online purchases and set up multi-factor authentication on all accounts that allow it. Always create a strong and unique password for each online account and be cautious of information being shared online. As well, install a strong, reputable anti-virus program.
