ALERT Page

ALERT:  

Security Threats to Your Computer Network!

 

CyberCriminals target innocent victims thousands, even millions of times per day.

They try to trick you, so that they can steal your data, personal or financial information.  They then steal your information, your money, even your identity.

The only defense is EDUCATION!

By informing yourself, your family and friends, coworkers or employees, you are building a defensive wall against CyberCriminals, and their illegal activities.

You can’t stop CyberCriminals from targeting you,
But you can be prepared for their arrival, and have full shields up!
