HomeHome Cyber Security
Cyber Security is very important to us. We want to take this opportunity to remind you of the importance of staying alert and aware while online. Remember to always be aware and look out for suspicious emails and text messages. These may come in the form of medical supply scams, fraudulent donation sites, fraudulent information sites, just to name a few. All of which may try to convince you to share sensitive information such as usernames and passwords or may try to get you to make purchases or donations on fraudulent websites. They may also try to get you to click on malicious links either emailed to you or embedded into a website. Do not respond to any email, click on any links, or open any attachments that you are unsure of. Always verify the authenticity of any website before making a purchase or donation. THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK!  Please take a moment to review all of the information below as a refresher and as always contact us if you have any questions.
