Cyber Tip 31:
It’s #Halloween and some people decide to take “scary” to a very dangerous level in the cyber world. A very common Halloween threat is called the “Phishing” scam. People try to reach you through email or fake social media accounts to steal your login details.

 These emails or pages will look exactly like they come from known websites or social media platforms and will attract to a “trick or treat” kind of a of game or something. Here’s what you should do:

1- Do NOT submit your login details to any unknown page. If the page looks like a social media site, make sure that the URL is real like “facebook.com” not “faceboook.com”.

2- Ignore these emails all in all to avoid any possible scam. If want to try an offer or so make sure that the sender address matches the original company website.

3- Keep your antivirus up to date and enable internet and email scanning.
Have a Happy Halloween.
