Security Tip: New Phishing Scams using GDPR and Royal Wedding

Be on the lookout for a new Apple-flavored email phishing Scam of the Week. New European data privacy regulation is going into effect this week. It’s called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and bad guys are using it as bait in a variety of ways. This scam looks like it is from Apple and claims that if you do not take action, your account will be “restricted”. But in reality they steal your identity and credit card information.

And then there is the royal wedding. It’s a scammer’s dream so be very careful. Only go to trusted websites to get information and news about it.

Do not click on links in emails, or social media links related to the royal wedding or open suspicious attachments that claim any kind of problem with “GDPR”.

Let’s stay safe out there.
