Here are some ways you can educate your team about Scareware and other security threats, and help them recognize when something seems fishy:
- Familiarize your team with your antivirus software and teach them to recognize red flags: Show your team the telltale signs of whether or not the “virus alert” they’re looking at matches the interface of the antivirus software that your company uses.
- Educate yourself and your team: Make sure everyone is familiar with helpful, routine browser messages that warn against visiting suspicious pages. That way, they’ll be prepared to recognize bogus virus alerts that phish for info.
- Whenever you feel lost, call a specialist: The professional nerds at ACS can unmask false alerts and spot a snake from a mile away.
