Why Should You Attend:

Have you ever received an email, instant message, or another type of
communication that seemed unusual even though the communication appeared
to be from a reputable organization or someone you know? This
communication could very well be a phishing scam. Phishing scams try to
"bait" the recipient in a number of ways: the malicious email could
include notice of an account cancellation, a request to verify/update
personal information, a notice of a purchase that you did not make, or
just about anything else that would get you to respond to the
communication. If the phishing scam is successful, personal accounts may
be accessed, money removed from bank accounts, or sensitive information
accessed. 

The volume of phishing attempts continues to increase, and the
methodologies used to launch attacks continue to morph, particularly in
light of the increased use of social media sites.  Knowing how to
recognize-and avoid falling prey to--a potential phishing scam requires
our constant vigilance and attention. 

This webcast will provide updates to our successful Phishing Scams Part
I webcast conducted in October 2008 --
http://www.msisac.org/webcast/2008-10/ -- and will present attendees
with new information about the latest phishing threats and scams.  The
broadcast will provide practical, timely guidance about the necessary
steps you need to take to protect yourself, your information and your
computer. 

Who Should Attend: 

 

This webcast is applicable to anyone who uses a computer-whether at
work, home or school.
