Fighting Off Cyberscammers

Tom Purcell on May 17, 2021

The key takeaway from this scam is that all of us are now under attack every moment of every day.

Regrettably, we now need to be suspicious of every email, text and phone call we receive.

We especially need to protect elderly family members and friends who are far too trusting in an untrustworthy era.

There are steps everyone needs to take to stop cyberscammers.

The federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency offers basic cyber tips that we can begin today.

CISA offers additional tips to protect older Americans.

Everyone is at risk of being scammed now — and everyone needs to know how to fight back.
