Don’t skim emails, read carefully and you can avoid big mistakes.
Thanks to Terry Ambrose I realized October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Why is this important?
Because those little ghosts and goblins ringing your bell this month aren’t the only spooky gremlins out to trick you. Nope.
There are hackers are lurking in our inboxes, on web browsers and social media just waiting to pounce.
So pay attention people.
Keep your computer security updated. Remember what happened when Equifax put off updating theirs when alerted? Yikes!
I know it is so overwhelming. Write blogs, read blogs, read and sort emails, pay bills, and in-between all of that finish the damn novel. I’m tired just writing this to-do list. Well a few days ago up popped on my computer screen these dreaded words, WARNING YOUR SECURITY HAS BEEN BREACHED SHUT DOWN AND UPDATE.
I have no idea what I clicked on! But I spent the rest of that day updating and cleaning up files, not writing.
But back to the post by Terry Ambrose. His great post came a day late for me but is a great humorous reminder that we just need to pay attention.
So, hop over and read
His reminder, to stay alert and pay attention, will make you smile.

Is your computer secure? Need to check on that? I’ll wait.
Do you click and scan emails or read carefully before clicking from unknown senders?
Has your computer been infected recently?
My inquiring mind wants to know…

I’d love it if you’d stop by my other locations and say “hey!” I’ll leave a light on.
