Cybersecurity Awareness Month!!!

Cyber Tip: Close what you don’t use. Unused ports and services expand your attack surface and invite scanning or exploitation. Disabling them keeps your network lean, secure, and harder to breach.

Another example of googling a suspicious thing along with the word fraud or scam. You can use this trick to evaluate the trustworthiness of emails, texts, websites, and even people.

Screenshot of an email raising questions about a domain name that belongs to me (scobb.net). This looked suspicious to me particularly since it appeared to come from some personal place called brad.yu. Screenshot of a query demonstrating the use of Google to investigate suspicious items. In this case. I copied and pasted the term “professional domain name registration“ from a suspicious email, together with the word scam. I quickly received confirmation of my suspicion that this was in fact a scam email.

Handy cyber 'trick' that has served me well:
If in doubt about something, maybe an email or text, an offer or a product, company, even a person, just Google a few words of description along with scam or fraud, as seen below:

Screenshot of an example of using Google to explore the trustworthiness of people, products, services, and so on. Simply search for the name of the iten and the word fraud. In this example, the first and last name of a person or googled together with the word "fraud".
