How scammers could get your email

More often lately we see hackers and scammers targeting our clients themselves. Tools such as antivirus, firewalls, and ad blockers are very effective. Informing our clients so they are aware of scammers tactics, however, is the most effective tool to prevent security issue. Technical support often provides the opportunity to address gaps in knowledge of how these cyber attack and online scams work. Often we start with a computer repair only to find malware infection but we don’t stop at just fixing technical issues for Lubbock residents. We also inform and train our clients on how best to prevent problems going forward. Furthermore with our CPR Checkup subscription you can more easily avoid technical support or antivirus scams by knowing that your computer is covered and no such issues could exist or if so you know to call Computer Professional Repair. An example we see too often is when a email account is taken over the scammer will setup automatic forwarding, redirecting or even deleting of certain or all email. And of course the normal methods of changing your password or enabling two factor authentication will not remove these changes. So the problem will follow you to every computer and it may seem impossible to fix. Worse yet this enables limitless possible scams when a scammer has access to all the information flowing through your email account. Impersonation, fake invoices, phishing and trickery no one thought to defend against. We offer security awareness training to our business and consumer customers. Personalized and one on one in person or over the phone. We take you through enabling all the extra steps to stay secure online. Rather than just doing it for you we can show you what’s happening and how to stay protected going forward. And with CPR Checkup Premium taking care of the rest on a technical level then you can be confident that you are taking all the best steps to stay safe online.
