Each month, we’re bringing you a new Cybersecurity scam story.

Read on to learn about an employee who accidentally gave personal information to someone they thought was their own company’s IT department!

This month’s top 3 Cybersecurity tips:

  1. Even if the sender’s email address is from a trusted domain, the email could be fake. Cybercriminals can gain access to trusted domains to make their scams more believable.
  2. When you receive an email, stop and look for red flags. For example, watch out for emails that were sent outside of business hours and emails that contain spelling or grammatical errors.
  3. Never click a link in an email that you aren’t expecting. Instead, open your internet browser and navigate to the organization’s official website.
