Cybersecurity Areas to Watch - Major National and International Events
2012 will include the U.S. Presidential election, London Olympics, and the Mayan Calendar end-of-time prediction. All of these events will be heavily covered in 24-hour news, Twitter feeds, Facebook posts, YouTube videos, and other Internet forums. Cyber criminals will likely take advantage of these popular stories to target readers and infect users with sites or messages designed to look like legitimate news stories.
Our increased reliance on the Internet exposes us to increasing cyber security risks. Awareness is the first line of defense against being a victim of a cybercrime. The TTU IT Division reminds you to be cautious about all electronic communications and to THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK.
