This Halloween – all tricks and no treats, cybercriminals are out to get you! Your online security could be at risk at this very moment if you’re not prepared with the ammunition to keep your personal information safe all year long.
Did You Know: Someone could be selling your stolen information (like your credit report) RIGHT NOW!
“It’s important that online users be mindful of the risks and threats that exist on the Internet, and think twice before clicking suspicious links, or opening potentially harmful attachments – around 3 in 4 spam attachments are malicious, ” said Natalie Severino, Trend Micro’s director of consumer product marketing. “Cybercriminals are also increasingly using current events as a tactic on social networking sites, so consumers should think twice before clicking to see that scary Halloween video a friend appears to have shared on their Facebook wall, or the photo of a costume party from an email address they don’t recognize.”
“In addition, consumers should ensure that their online security software is up to date,” Severino said. “For example, Trend Micro™ Titanium™ Maximum Security 2012 protects users as they surf online and on their social networks, whether on their computers, mobile phones, tablets or other connected devices.”
