Itโ€™s Cyber Smart Week next week. This yearโ€™s theme is โ€œFind a Scam before it finds youโ€.

AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape. Itโ€™s helping cyber criminals operate faster and at greater scale and making scams more convincing and harder to spot.

If youโ€™re an older person and use the Internet for everyday things, we recommend joining the โ€œYouโ€™ve got mailโ€ฆBut is it real? How to spot scams and stay safe onlineโ€ webinar presented by Karen Billings-Jensen, Chief Executive, Age Concern; and Shane Boyle, South Island Regional Representative, Federation of New Zealand SeniorNet Societies on TUESDAY 6 OCTOBER, 1PM โ€“ 2PM.

This FREE practical webinar explores real-world examples of the latest online scams and the simple cybersecurity habits that can help protect you. Learn how to spot the warning signs, protect your accounts and personal information, and know what to do when something doesnโ€™t seem right.

If you would like help registering for the webinar or setting up Zoom; or have any questions about scams and staying safe online, please donโ€™t hesitate to give Michael a call on 021 728 321 or email [email protected]. Heโ€™s here to help.
