PERSONALIZED SCAMS
PREVENTION TIPS




A personalized scam is a new type of scam whereby the
Cyber-criminal does research first and create a custom-
ized message for each intended victim. They do this by
finding or purchasing a database of people's names,
passwords, phone numbers or other details. This type of
information is easily available due to all the websites that
have been hacked in the past. It is commonly available
on social media sites and in publicly available govern-
ment records.

Below we show you how to spot such crimes and stop it.


1. Whenever you receive a highly urgent email, message
or phone call be very suspicious. If someone is using
emotions like fear or urgency, they are trying to rush you
into making a mistake.


2. When someone is demanding payment in Bitcoin, gift
cards, or other untraceable methods.


3. When you get a suspicious email,
search on google to see if other people
have reported similar attacks.


PASSWORD CHECKING


If you fear one of your passwords was ex-
posed in one or more of these breaches, you Answer to Riddles
can check by typing your email addresses 1. Racecar
into the website: 2. NightFall
https://haveibeenpwned.com. If your email
address comes up then you must change the 3. Room for Improvement
password that you used for all the sites that
suffered earlier data breaches. If you used the
same password for any other sites, you
should also change the password on those.
