Watch Out for Cybercriminal ROYAL WEDDING Crashers! The Royal Wedding is nearly here, and there’s no doubt that the wedding of the year if not the century is generating global curiosity but be careful before you click!
Norton conducted a survey, which found that 62% of Americans plan to follow the union between Prince William and Kate Middleton (perhaps because nearly 8 out of 10 respondents think this marriage will work).
Moreover, Nearly 40% of respondents planned to seek their royal wedding information online. Internet security company Norton is warning would-be wedding know-it-alls: be careful where you get the latest dish.
As with other major international events, you can expect that cybercriminals will try to exploit the interest in the royal wedding.
Norton has pulled together a quick check-list for those royal wedding fans to help them steer clear of cybercriminals:
• Think before you click – Beware of emails or links that promise “leaked” footage, offer “scandalous” pictures, or purport to have “secret” information. Cybercriminals take advantage of sensational and shocking headlines to get you to click on links that could infect your computer
• Go with what you know – While any site could potentially be risky, it’s best to avoid clicking on sites you’ve never heard of that show up in your search results. Stick to the official royal wedding website or go directly to reputable news sites to get the latest news and videos of the wedding
• Protect your computer – Use trusted security software on your computer to block threats and make sure you’re keeping it up-to-date.
So if you’re planning to watch the Royal Wedding online; be on the look out for cybercriminals!
