KRS QUICK TECH TIP: Someone’s Goin’ Fishing Out There🤔…and It’s For Easy Targets LIKE YOU!!🫵🤯🤯🤯

Hey everyone, Chris Gaffney back for another weekly tech tip for KRS IT.

This week we're going to talk about something that's obviously not new, but it's happening more and more frequent. It's phishing scams and how to avoid them.

OK, so when it comes to phishing scams, it's getting more and more frequent, like I said. And that's really what the hackers are counting on, right? It's just a numbers game. So they're going to send out a certain amount of them, somebody’s going to click on it. It's going to work. It's just a numbers game. So quick clicking is your worst enemy! You get a text message, you get an e-mail, or something like that. They're getting more clever with them. And obviously there's links in there, and people are just clicking on them. When that happens, firewalls could be installed, and a lot of bad things can happen from that point.

This normally happens because we're not paying attention. To be completely honest, I've done it myself. I remember I ordered something for my daughter. I kept waiting for it to ship and it didn't ship, and I was kind of like, trying to figure out what's going on with it. I got a text message saying it was from the United States Postal Service, and we need to verify your address, click here. And I figured it was perfect timing. I figured, “that's why it hasn't shipped.” So as soon as I clicked the link, I realized what I'd done. So it really happens that easy. Just be careful. Do your work, training exercises, just try to, you know, educate yourselves on all this stuff that's going on.

And that's really it! And also do your updates too, right. Because on our phones there's updates, and companies are always realizing that hackers are getting through in different ways. And they're constantly doing updates, to ensure that we're protected. So, I know a lot of people don't like to do the updates. It's kind of a pain in the butt, but just do them because they're actually closing a lot of security doors when they do that, all right?
