The modern digital world delivers amazing conveniences but also introduces new risks we must navigate. Malware, hacking, fraud, and other threats lurk online, ready to exploit any vulnerability. Like brushing your teeth, maintaining good tech hygiene is essential to avoiding problems down the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all the technological defenses, simple scams and social engineering represent major threats preying on human psychology. Con artists haven’t gone away in the internet age, just evolved their methods. It is important, therefore, to confirm legitimacy when contacted by alleged representatives from government agencies, banks or other entities asking for info or payments. Hang up and call back using official numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for poorly worded emails, suspicious links and other red flags signaling scams. Check sender addresses for accuracy. Never provide sensitive information like credit cards, bank accounts or Social Security numbers to unsolicited contacts or links. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, if an offer seems impossibly great, that’s a sure sign that it’s bogus. Delete messages that promise big prizes, investment gains or stranded foreign princes offering treasure. Scammers exploit fear, uncertainty, and greed. Maintain critical thinking when faced with high-pressure offers designed to override logic. Talk to family when in doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being cautiously skeptical means we partially compensate for limits in both technology and human nature. Look to trusted cybersecurity experts for guidance navigating the intersection of convenience and security. Focus protections around truly sensitive assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
