What services can we provide?

Emails & Phishing

One of the most common ways people get into sticky situations online is through emails. Ever seen suspicious emails encouraging you to open a link? This strategy is called phishing. Essentially the objective is for you to interact with their email to either get on phone with them, download some malware or to purchase something online from a false website. But they can't get you if you don't interact with them. The key is in your ability to recognise the signs of a phishing attack & being able to ignore or delete it. Get in touch with us & we can teach you to be socially secure.

Social Communication

Some attacks don't even have to be online. For more determined scammers or hackers, they may want to retrieve information that will allow them to hack or steal from you at a later point. You have to have your wits about you when interacting with strangers. It could even be from a phone call claiming to be one of your business services. Let us give you a crash course on what to look out for.

Pop-ups / Scambaiting

A more common social tactic is through the use of pop-ups on your computer. These often are caused by accepting notifications on certain websites or allowing malware onto your computer. Their objective generally is to make you panic about something wrong with your computer or that a bill has failed, all to get you on the phone with them. You need to know the tell-tale signs on what is a legitimate pop up and what is not, or you could find yourself in a very sticky situation. Get in touch with us for some training on how to be safe online.
