Combating Computer and Technology Scams in the Twin Tiers
WAVERLY VILLAGE, N.Y. (WETM) – On the heels of Russia and Ukraine, tech scams have become more prevalent in the United States.
Experts say having the proper cyber security methods in place is vital.
A lot of the cyber-attacks that you may have heard about usually occur because someone has been tricked into interacting with a file they’re not supposed to.
“It’s not someone sitting behind a dark screen. It’s more like an opportunist, right like someone called they got a hold of the right person. They tricked them into giving them a username and password, and now you’re along for the ride. So, the most important piece to any cybersecurity program is going to be end-user training. ” said Kyle Ackland, Technology Director, Waverly School District.
Ackland suggests investing in a password manager to combat cyber-attacks on your computer and technology software.
