Cyber-shop with Caution: Security Tips for Upcoming Summer Promotions
With “end of summer” and “back-to-school” promotions around the corner, use your best judgment when it comes to clicking promotional links, downloading coupon files, or responding to unsolicited texts or phone calls.
Online retail events such as Amazon Prime Day, Cyber Monday, and others can make it more difficult to spot a phishing attempt. Remain diligent and ask yourself key questions before clicking a link or visiting an unknown website.
