Don’t Get Tricked - Practice Cyber Security

October may be best known for Halloween, but this month is also known as Cybersecurity Awareness Month! Cyberattacks are malicious attempts to access or damage a computer or network system. Cyberattacks can lead to the loss of money or the theft of personal, financial and medical information. These attacks can damage your reputation and safety. It can feel overwhelming, but Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a reminder that there are many ways to protect yourself online. Check out Ready.gov's Cybersecurity page to learn some of the fundamentals of cybersecurity, which can make a big difference.
