🛡️ Security Corner 🛡️

Cyber criminals may contact you via email, text, phone call or via social media. They will often pretend to be someone (or an organisation) you trust.

It used to be easier to spot scams. They might contain bad spelling or grammar, come from an unusual email address, or feature imagery or design that feels ‘off’. But scams are getting smarter and some even fool the experts.

Criminals are increasingly using QR codes within phishing emails to trick users into visiting scam websites.
