Cyber Awareness

08-04-2021

Following on from the talk from Devon and Cornwall’s Cyber Aware Officer take the time to look at some of these links.

The National Cyber Security Centre: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/

– Great advice on all aspects of cyber security from the NCSC for businesses and individuals

Take Five to Stop Fraud: https://takefive-stopfraud.org.uk/

– Advice on financial and banking fraud

Cyber Aware: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberaware/home

– Top tips on passwords, turning on 2FA, back-ups and the importance of updating your devices

Another useful tool as we discussed, is to input your email address into the ‘Have I Been Pwned’ website and the site will advise if your address has been involved in a data breach: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

– Very useful to check this if you are receiving a lot of spam email in your account.  If you find that your account has been compromised, change your password immediately.

Reporting fraud and Cyber Crime to Action Fraud:  Telephone number 0300 1232040: www.actionfraud.police.uk

Suspicious emails – forward to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC): report@phishing.gov.uk  Forward suspicious texts (SMS) to OFCOM: 7726

If you would like advice on securing your router our colleagues in the City of London Police have provided this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfRzIspjJfY
