Cybersecurity news has been overwhelming lately, highlighted by a massive industry round-up revealing hundreds of newly discovered Android software flaws, clever phishing tactics built directly into web browsers, and a staggering 119,000 active online scam shops.

The good news is that you do not need to be a tech expert to protect yourself and your family from these evolving threats. Whether you are browsing the web on your phone or sorting through your inbox, staying skeptical of urgent messages, unexpected attachments, and too-good-to-be-true online deals is your best defense. When an incoming email feels even slightly suspicious, do not take chances.
