Friday Tech Tip: 3 Things to Remember This Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
Happy Friday! We're already halfway through October (seriously, where did the month go?!), so we thought we'd share three quick cybersecurity reminders before the weekend!
1. If it seems too good to be true... it probably is!
Sorry, but that random email saying you've inherited $5 million from a long-lost relative probably isn't your ticket to early retirement.
2. Your password shouldn't be "password123."
And no, changing it to "Password123!" doesn't make it much better! Use strong, unique passwords and turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever possible.
3. Think before you click!
Scammers love creating a sense of urgency. Whether it's a suspicious text, an unexpected package notification, or an email claiming your account will be locked in five minutes, take a moment to verify before clicking.
Speaking of October...
We're already halfway through Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which means there are only about two weeks left to take advantage of our October special!
Giga Systems is offering a FREE scam and cybersecurity awareness presentation (up to 1 hour) during October to help you and your group recognize scams and stay safer online.
