Understanding Scams and Threaths
As a technology company providing a range of IT solutions, we have received numerous inquiries from clients regarding cyber attacks, scams, and related issues. This prompted us to share valuable information to help you better understand what is happening globally and in New Zealand regarding these threats.
In today’s digital age, scams and cyber threats are more prevalent than ever. Whether it’s phishing emails, deceptive phone calls, or malicious websites, it’s crucial to recognize the warning signs.
Here are some common types of scams you should be aware of:
-
Phishing Emails: Always verify the sender’s email address and avoid clicking on suspicious links. Look for signs such as poor grammar and urgent requests.
-
Phone Scams: If someone calls claiming to be from a reputable organization asking for personal information, hang up and verify directly with the organization.
-
Malicious Websites: Only enter personal information on secure websites (look for HTTPS in the URL) and be cautious when downloading files.
