Placing A Fraud Alert
If you’re the victim of identity theft, or think you may be at risk, you should act quickly to protect yourself from further financial damage. You need to place a fraud alert as soon as you are aware that something could be wrong.
A fraud alert makes it harder for criminals to open new credit in your name because a business will have to verify your identity before a new account is opened.
Placing a fraud alert is free and easy and makes it harder for criminals to use your information.
Watch Out for AI Phone Scams
Scammers are constantly looking for new ways to trick you, and as technology becomes more sophisticated, so do the scams. A new threat is AI voice scams, which can impersonate the voices of loved ones or trusted figures.
Scammers use AI voice cloning to create convincing audio messages to deceive victims into taking urgent action such as sending money. Family scams are particularly effective because they prey on our emotions and concern for loved ones.
The key to staying safe from AI voice scams is awareness and knowing how to spot red flags.

Multifactor Authentication for Businesses

One important safeguard to implement is multifactor authentication (MFA) which can help protect against cybercriminals by requiring staffers to provide additional evidence to prove their identity when logging in.
Multifactor authentication can give your business the extra layers of defense it needs to keep your important business and customer data safe. Learn more at “Digital Banking: Is It Really More Secure?
