Join us for this presentation on avoiding scams and keeping your personal and financial information safe.
Information plays such an essential role in our daily lives, but we as a society, have been remiss in protecting this valuable commodity. A plethora of high-profile attacks have resulted the disclosure of confidential data, destruction of sensitive information & ID theft.
Learn about the latest scams – “pig butchering”, “vishing” – and what you can do to protect yourself. Fight scammers back by recognizing the dangers. Learn why you should pay more attention to texts that (supposedly!) come from your financial institution. There is often an uptick in scams around the holidays: don’t be a victim because you’re security unaware.
This is a presentation by Christine Dale, a Masters degree graduate of Royal Holloway, University of London. Christine volunteers in her local community of Alexandria promoting awareness of Information Security among seniors, preparing lawful permanent residents for Citizenship & also teaching English as a second language.
