Cybersecurity Awareness
Phishing Awareness - Browser Updates
Due to increased cyber warfare activity and heightened threat levels, all users are advised to remain extremely vigilant and not open unexpected email attachments or click on unfamiliar links, even if they appear to come from internal known contacts. Threat actors are actively using sophisticated phishing techniques, including disguised documents and credential-harvesting websites, to compromise user accounts and gain access to your business systems. If you receive any suspicious email, do not interact with it—report it immediately to Cyber Security team and/or your IT Service Desk for assistance.
​
Everyone should also ensure their devices are fully updated by installing the latest versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox, along with all pending operating system and application updates on both computers and mobile devices. This includes updating mobile operating systems such as iOS and Android, as well as ensuring all mobile applications are kept current through official app stores. Keeping browsers, systems, and apps up to date is critical to protect against known vulnerabilities actively exploited by attackers.
Please complete these updates promptly to help safeguard our corporate environment.
