From Cyndee (City Clerk):
Just thought I would share a scam related to social engineering and, in this instance, gmail passwords. As I am sure you are all aware, it has become profitable to steal or ransom personal information. And as such, the level of deception criminals use to attempt to fool you in to giving them access to your information continues to escalate.
Please remmber to be cautious of anything you receive – email or text – especially where there are attachments, or someone asks you to click a link or send a code, or it just seems like an odd email, or whatever the case may be. As we have learned in the past few weeks even emails from people we know can turn out to be attempts to infect our computers and networks, or glean personal details.
If you suspect that you have opened something that may be malicious, please disconnect your computer from the network and contact the appropriate staff member to look at the computer. It’s always better to err on the side of caution!
Thanks everyone!
