• Patch Lady – 31 days of Paranoia – Day 19

    Posted on October 20, 2018 at 00:19 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Since it appears that I didn’t win the Mega Million Lottery, I will continue with my posts about paranoia.  Tonight’s topic is about Small Business scams.  Small businesses often have the least amount of resources to help protect them against cyber security attacks.  The website staysafeonline.org recently had a small business series going over several key issues.  This month’s session was about Small Business Scams, many of them even individuals have been targeted.

    So take a short 30 minutes and watch was the typical scams are and how you can protect yourself.  One of the key ways I stay aware is always ask yourself “does this sound too good to be true?”  If the answer is yes, then it’s a scam.

    Here’s from the Staysafeonline.org web site:
