Norton 360 with Lifelock selflessly sent me an email this morning warning of the perils of the Internet. I wanted to pass it along and let you know they are offering a 30% discount on your first year of protection, (How do they make a profit at that price?).
Anyway, these good people have blown the lid off cybersecurity with this tip: “Do not accept friend requests from strangers!” BRILLIANT!
Just yesterday I was on my way to the bank to deposit $5,000 into the account of a Nigerian Prince so that he could send me $5 Million when a stranger I met on-line surprised me and asked me to get into his van (I loved his darkly tinted windows). To repay his kindness I shared the tip with him. He astutely pointed out that if I had not accepted a stranger’s friend request we would not have met. In gratitude I cut him in on the Nigerian Prince deal. He was so appreciative he let me out unharmed on a desolate road in the mountains.
The tip has kept me safe already! Pass it on!
