The game of cybersecurity is growing fiercer, and it seems like cybercriminals are playing like it's the Super Bowl of hacking. Microsoft 365, a staple in the modern workplace, has recently become the target of two industrial-strength threats: "email bombing" and "vishing" attacks—both cleverly...
As I age, I"m a couple of weeks short of 86 now, I get inundated with scam emails.
Now I'm not just getting ones that say they are from Amazon, my bank, UPS, other retailers, and payment services they are claiming to be from the Social Security!
The first thing I do is look at the address...
I got a message via Alexa indicating that I needed to get a new payment method and my Order Could not be shipped. I've never heard her saying anything related to orders before.
Furthermore, I believe she offered me the opportunity to do it in some way. I don't actually remember, that's the...
Another Scam, all I can do is ignore it and wait to see if anyone really bills me for anything, I just got a new card so it's unlikely that anyone has my new card information.

Hi everyone.
Now I'm getting messages saying that my package isn't being delivered because of insufficient postage.
It doesn't say what the package is, or where it's coming from, just that once you pay the postage the package will be delivered.
The older I get, (I'm 85) the more stuff like...
Well, today I got an email message supposedly from FedEx saying that they had my package and there is a problem with my address, with a big button to click to contact them and confirm my address.
This is the first time I've gotten one that was supposed to be from FedEx, UPS, or the Post Office...
Hi everyone.
I received an email from Comcast today, it says that my service will be suspended unless I update my payment information.

HI
Just got a message from Skype, (ostensibly) saying they were charging my account $10 because my credit account was low. I've never seen this before and I never make any pay calls on Skype anyway.
I think I make a yearly payment that lets me call any phone in the US or Canada, but that's...
I just received this email, it's pretty obvious, that it's a scam, it doesn't even say what you are supposed to have ordered? It states at the bottom if you want to cancel this order, download the cancelation form from the link at the bottom of the page, fill it out and return it...

Just got the message, and of course there's a phone number to call if you have any question, that's when they try and get your credit card and other info...
Hi
Today I have received two email messages one ostensibly from Amazon and one from Microsoft.
Both names you think you can trust, both were fake invoices for things I haven't purchased.
Both invoices are in the same format and are obviously from the same sender.
I copied the first one and...
I received a message this morning that my Facebook account is scheduled for deletion today. I am assuming this is some sort of scan as they wanted me to log in to fb and give info-
Please verify your recent account activity & confirm this deletion request to proceed.
Anyone?
I'd strongly recommend everyone read the article and pass it along to friends and family.
