🚨 Stay Safe Online This Holiday Season! 🚨

The holiday season is a time for celebration, giving, and connecting—but it’s also a time when online scams are on the rise. Here’s why you should think twice before clicking on links with “too-good-to-be-true” offers:

🔴 Malware Risks
Many holiday promotions or deals sent via email, text, or social media could be traps designed to install malware on your device. Malware can:

• Steal your personal and financial information.
• Compromise your passwords.
• Damage your files and devices.

🔴 Phishing Scams
Cybercriminals often disguise themselves as legitimate businesses or charities, urging you to click links to claim discounts or donate. These links may:

• Lead to fake websites that look real but steal your data.
• Trick you into entering sensitive information.

🔴 How to Stay Safe
✅ Verify Before Clicking: Check the sender’s email address and website URL. Legitimate companies won’t send suspicious, unsolicited links.
✅ Go Directly to the Source: Instead of clicking, visit the company’s official website or app to verify deals or offers.
✅ Use Security Software: Make sure your antivirus software is up-to-date to catch malicious links.
✅ Trust Your Instincts: If it feels too good to be true, it probably is.

🎄 Enjoy a safe and joyous holiday season without falling victim to online scams. Protect yourself and your loved ones by staying vigilant!
