Election Day PSA

Today is a perfect day for all of us being targeted for...a cyberattack through social engineering or online misinformation. 

Just a reminder that we should be especially watchful about political ads announcing any “urgent” message today because these ads are quite likely to be laden with malware - ransomware in particular. 

Examples:

Winners/Losers before results are in

Calls “to arms” (to protest or worse) because of unrest in your city/town/hamlet

Reports of military/militia action

If in doubt, open a new browser window and check out trustworthy news sources (not social media)

We all need to think before we click.
