Cybersecurity Awareness Month is underway, prompting warnings to exercise caution online. Constable Mark Herman's Office is reminding people to be vigilant against phishing scams, which can appear legitimate but are designed to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information.

Phishing scams often arrive via unexpected emails, text messages, links, or attachments, and can put personal information and devices at risk with a single careless click. To stay safe, it is advised to verify the sender of a message and be wary of urgent communications.

Further guidance on avoiding phishing scams is available, including tips on examining links and attachments carefully before opening them and avoiding entry of personal information through unsolicited links.
