Our speaker this week was Robert Shoemaker, CEO of Professional Computer Associates (PCA). He was accompanied by his firm’s Marketing Director, Theresa Mulkins. Bob provided us with a crash course in Phishing 101. In summary, we need to be cautious about all emails because looks can be deceiving. Bob shared some hints: 1) If the message in the email sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 2) Look at the email address of the sender; if it is not from the business or person supposedly sending you the email do not open. 3) If the email contains a "link" to a webpage, hover your mouse pointer over the link and the actual address will appear, don't click it if it doesn't look correct. 4) If the subject line contains RE: and it is not coming from someone you have been communicating with, don't open the email. 5) Last but not least, when creating passwords make sure they are easy to remember and don't contain any personal information.
