While these stations are designed to be convenient for our modern lives, they aren't guaranteed to be secure. In the last few years, you may have noticed charging stations popping up in airports, cafes, and other public places. Even though I’ve been on the internet since it started, those hackers almost got me. I clicked on the link, started to enter my info, and happened to look at the URL and see that it was a subtle variation of PayPal and not PayPal itself. I’ve gotten fake PayPal emails in the past telling me I’d been locked out of my account and that I need to click somewhere and sign in. When entering information into a website, pay attention to make sure the website is legitimate.Īlso, be wary of hackers and scammers posing as companies like PayPal and Apple.So I'm going to repeat this: never open an attachment or link from an email unless you specifically requested it, even if it is from someone you know. Then the hacker sends emails to everyone they have addresses for. Sometimes your friend's email accounts can get hacked.
If the message is strange, asks for something, or contains a link or other suspicious text, simply delete it. If you receive text messages from unknown numbers, look at the message preview to see if it’s someone you know.If you’re browsing on the web, only open a link if you know where it’s going and know that the site it’s on is legitimate.
