Recently there has been a significant uptick in reports of members falling victim to cyber scams. These scams take place via email, phone calls and text messages. The fraudsters often pose as a trusted party such as your financial institution or a government official, in an effort to trick you into giving them sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, account information or installing malicious software on your personnel devices.
Cybercrime is becoming more serious every day, so we encourage you to be aware and stay vigilant to protect yourself.
Attackers spend a considerable amount of time thinking of ways to appear legitimate, in hopes to dupe you into disclosing your sensitive data, usernames and passwords, account information or install malicious software.
