Digital Safety CIC

Trick or Treat? Stay Safe Online this Halloween 👻
🕷Beware of Suspicious Links: Phishing messages and fake deals are the online version of a “trick” – don’t click on anything that seems “too good to be true!”
🕸 Don’t Get Tricked by Phishing Scams: Beware of suspicious emails, texts, and pop-ups promising “treats” like prizes or discounts – they’re often phishing scams! Always verify the sender and avoid clicking unknown links.
👻 Keep Your Treats Safe: Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication on your accounts to keep your digital treats locked away from cyber-ghouls!
👾 Protect Your Online Identity: Keep personal info private, especially on social media.
💀Cyber tricksters can use even a small detail to get inside your digital world.
🕷Avoid Stranger Danger: Only download apps from trusted sources and be cautious of unexpected emails or friend requests.
So, before you head out into the internet’s haunted house, remember stay alert, stay smart, and protect yourself from any digital tricks lurking in the shadows.
Happy Halloween🕷💀
