Happy Friday! In the ever changing world it's important to be vigilant. Identify theft and online fraud has increased exponentially over the years. Criminals use current events and target individuals. Covid relief and the current economic state is no different - be vigilant. Companies will not ask you for your password. Another thing to consider is the use of public wifi and exercising caution when logging into your accounts. Criminals will use software and hardware to collect your information to gain access. Lastly, multi-factor authentication is by far a safer approach to keep your information secure.

Another reason October was the perfect month to announce WildFyre Cyber Solutions, is it is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM).
