Cybersecurity Awareness Month Week 4: Vibe Check: When Criminals Go Phishing, Don't Take the Bait

The fourth week of Cybersecurity Awareness Month is all about awareness around and identifying phishing scams. Phishing is when criminals use fake email accounts to lure you into clicking on links that allow them access to your personal information. Clicking these links can also enable phishers to install malware on your device. Once you understand what signs of phishing scams look like, you can better avoid getting scammed.
