Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution in order to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords. This information is then used to access important accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss for your School Division. Our presentation will help your Division protect your Boards from cybercriminals that are masking how they appear. Often, the goal of these cybercriminals is to coerce your staff into changing the account information on file for your third-party vendors working with your board. Our presentation will provide clues, identifiers, and strategies to your staff to circumvent these cybercriminals.
