Each week through the month of October, Information Technology will share a cyber security awareness tip. We will also be hosting brown bag cyber security awareness training on Wednesday Oct 10, Tuesday Oct 16, and Wednesday Oct 24. All three sessions will be held in the Innovation Foundry (Library 3rd floor), and will run from 12 (noon) to 1 p.m.
Credit Card Skimmers: Did you know that “pay at the pump” credit card readers aren’t mandated to upgrade to chip technologies until 2020?. This helps to explain why we’ve seen a number of credit card skimmer reports from local news outlets. You can protect yourself from becoming a victim of credit card skimmers by looking before inserting your card and asking yourself if something seems out of place or broken. Your best option may be to just pay inside, and always keep a close eye on your credit card or bank account.
