If your employees are working remotely, ensure they know how to protect themselves! Pro tip: VPNs and secure mobile connections are essential for secure remote work. 📱 🛡️ #RemoteWorkSecurity #CyberAwareness #WiFiRisks #PineappleDevice #BusinessProtection #CyberSecurity #CyberResilientUK #ProtectAgainstCyberCrime

Planning to get away in the new year? Make sure your trip doesn’t turn into a nightmare by staying alert to holiday fraud. Many can fall victim to fake listings, fraudulent websites, and deals that seem too good to be true. To protect yourself from scams, keep these tips in mind: 💻 Research the company – Check reviews and verify the business through official sites. Be cautious of listings with limited information or no reviews. 💳 Pay with a secure method – Avoid direct bank transfers. Use secure payment methods like credit cards, which offer more protection if something goes wrong. 📞 Watch out for pressure tactics – Scammers often create urgency, saying things like “last-minute deal” or “limited offer.” Take your time and avoid rushed decisions. 🌐 Look for official accreditation – Trustworthy booking sites and travel agencies will display membership in official industry bodies, like ABTA or ATOL. Stay vigilant, verify your bookings, and enjoy a secure getaway. ✈️
