Avoid a ‘smishing’ attack

 

Smishing is a form of phishing in which an attacker uses a text message to trick a recipient into clicking a link and sending private information or downloading malicious programs to a smartphone.

Good practices for scanning QR codes

 

QR codes are the square, scannable codes that you see for touchless menus at restaurants, real estate listings, TV ads, social media posts, and more. Unfortunately, cybercriminals can also create QR codes linking to malicious websites.

Practice good laptop security

 

Mobile devices and laptops are susceptible to theft and loss. The greatest risk to laptop security is typically leaving a computer in an unattended location such as an airport, hotel, restaurant, or inside a vehicle.
