Security TipsFree Wi-Fi Can Lead to Hacking
When you see a free Wi-Fi sign at a store, restaurant, airport or hotel, you may not even think twice before connecting and carrying on with your business. However, unprotected Wi-Fi is an easy place for hackers to steal information. Since no authentication is required to connect to the network, a hacker can intercept information such as usernames, passwords, and even financial information that you type into your browser while on the Wi-Fi. There are ways to help avoid this while still being able to use the Wi-Fi such as using something called a VPN to make your data unreadable to hackers, but the easiest and best way is to avoid logging in or inputting any sensitive information over public networks. |

Scams Going Around1&1 Ionos Security Verification Scam
Our clients have reported receiving emails from “1&1 Ionos” saying that 1&1 Ionos users need to update their account information. They use a scare tactic stating “You will not be able to use your account until this process is complete”. This email is a scam attempting to retrieve your log in information when you click on the link in the email. Do not click the link, just delete the email.A couple of ways to spot a scam email is to look for typos in it, or if you hover your mouse cursor over the link in the email and it does not show the website you’re expecting to see, that is another red flag. You can always check in on your account by going to your vendor’s website in a browser and logging in there. Have you received an email or letter about your website or domain and you’re not sure if it’s a scam? We’re happy to help out our clients with issues like this, contact Appletree for more information. |
