Some tricks to defeat the digital ghouls
October 24th, 2024
Although October is best known for Halloween, it also happens to be International Cyber Security Awareness month. Please read on for some tricks to help defeat the digital ghouls!
You may have already received or will soon receive an invitation from Dawson's IT Support to complete a 10-minute Cyber Security course entitled Email Phishing. These courses are part of our ministerial requirements on Cyber Security.
- Beware of phishing scams! We run yearly simulations to help you practice recognize these pranks. The simple, telltale signs still work, one of which is an outside email posing as a colleague. If you see one, report it in Outlook by clicking on "Report Phishing."
- Do not engage or respond to your colleagues outside the College platforms, which are Dawson email, MyDawson MIO (Omnivox, and Teams. Read more about phishing on our pages.
- Stop and take a moment to examine hyperlinks and their context.
- Store your work files on SharePoint and OneDrive, rather than locally on your computer. In the event of your computer being infected it will be quarantined and local files will be lost.
- Notice any suspicious email, activity, vulnerabilities, hacking, etc.? Who ya gonna call? IT Support!
