As the holiday shopping season ramps up, the U.S. Secret Service and the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency have published a great article containing best practices for both consumers and businesses to achieve a more secure online shopping experience.

Tis the season for stacking presents at your front door — and being vigilant against holiday scammers.

Public internet isn’t secure. Here are some tips to protect your personal info when you’re out and online.

A particularly callused kind of scammer is targeting people at their most vulnerable moment: while trying to recover from a natural disaster.

Most of us are connected all the time. Smartphones, laptops, tablets, vehicles, and even our homes provide us with the ability to contact each other and our connected devices from anywhere. We have come to rely on the convenience this offers, but at what cost? When it is time to sell or dispose of one of these devices, what happens to all that information?

Be on the lookout for a new email scam impersonating the IRS! The scammers are hoping you will open their email because you are anxious for your tax refund and will be caught off guard. The emails have the IRS logo and a subject line referencing "your refund".

Sometimes sharing is a good thing! When you receive that odd text, suspicious email or a phone call from a number you do not recognize, it is a good idea to share your experience with others. Perhaps someone in your family or friend group has had the same experience and can help you avoid a split second mistake that costs you money and/or your identity. Maybe by sharing your experience, you can save someone else from making that mistake. We are all bombarded with messages from everywhere all the time and the scammers hope to catch you at that moment you let your guard down.
