About the event
Cybercrime encompasses a range of criminal activities that leverage technology, impacting individuals and organizations worldwide. Understanding its implications is crucial in today’s digital age. In an increasingly interconnected world, cybercrime is prevalent and poses risks to individuals, financially and emotionally. Nearly 60% of adults have experienced some form of cybercrime, making awareness and protection essential. Cybercriminals have adapted their scams to be more realistic to better coerce the unsuspecting target (you) using AI, phishing, social engineering, and other tricks that have developed and refined over the last few years. The goal of this presentation is to educate users on how to identify scam telephone calls, emails, and text messages since most scams weave common themes in their messages such as urgency, curiosity, sympathy, and trust.
