Have yourself a cyber-safe Christmas

We’d like to urge colleagues to protect themselves and stay vigilant to cyber scams this Christmas.

Unfortunately, the festive period sees an increase in online scams, such as ‘too good to be true’ Black Friday deals, online charity fraud and ‘friend in need’ WhatsApp scams.

Organisations such as Action Fraud, the UK Government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Center for Protection of National Infrastructure and banks and building societies are sharing a host of resources on staying safe against scams.

Action Fraud also has a ‘reporting’ option that allows you to report a scam on behalf of yourself and others.

Please share these messages with those who may be vulnerable to scams.
