Welcome to the very first episode of the Cyber Safety Pod! My name is Victor and I will be your host. Let me begin by saying that I am not a cyber security expert. More like a cyber security groupie. But I have loved computers since I was a kid. But enough about me, Let's get to the episode. Phishing is defined as the act of attempting to acquire (sensitive) information by posing as a trustworthy entity. And this episode is going to try and make you an anti-phishing expert. I will go over some simple yet effective ways anyone can use, that will stop a phishing attack in its track. If you abide by these rules, you'll make yourself (and the company you work for) a harder target to hit. Let us know what you think of the show!
