In this class we discuss ways to be safe online and focus on protecting your personal information.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps:

Know how to identify phishing email/texts and do not click on any suspicious links found within the email or text.
Never let anyone "Remote In"; to your computer unless you are confident the person you are talking to is legit.
Set up alerts on your banking accounts and credit card accounts.
Check your bank and credit card accounts often for suspicious activity.
When looking for the customer service number for a company, do not google the phone number. Cyber criminals create fake phone numbers that could be used to contact what you think is the actual customer service department of a company.
Remember to keep your personal medical information secure; ask who the privacy manager is at your hospital and physician office. Ask what they do to keep your information secure. Use a very secure password when logging in to your physician or hospital portal.
