  • Phishing & Vishing - These scams were once largely centered around email, but attacks are also becoming commonplace via text and phone as scammers spoof phone numbers to appear legitimate(2), appearing as if you know the person contacting you by obtaining the trusted individuals’ contact information or even employing voice automation. Always verify the person you’re communicating with before exchanging important information.
  • Malware – This computer-based threat involves the criminal(s) using a virus to access your computer without your consent or knowledge. Be careful clicking on random links from unknown senders.
