The holidays are here, and we want you to be safe and secure through Winter Break. Here are some things you can do to have safe, secure, and happy holidays.
- Avoid Suspicious Wi-Fi Networks – Angry elves can steal your data by setting up fake Wi-Fi networks and waiting for you to connect to them. Only use networks you recognize and trust.
- Don’t use Unknown USB’s – It might look like a good stocking stuffer, but USB’s that you don’t own might be infected with viruses or malware. Only use USB’s you own and trust.
- Don’t click on suspicious emails – Angry elves don’t really want you to go on a free vacation. Emails with links from sources you don’t recognize might have viruses or malware that will infect your computer. Just toss those emails in the trash folder!
