'It started with a Phish…'

Tarian, Southern Wales Regional Organised Crime Unit, together with partners from the University of South Wales, will be delivering a webinar to help businesses and members of the public improve their knowledge of Phishing. The webinar will include 2 live 'hacking' demonstrations, to illustrate what happens behind the scenes when we are the victim of these attacks.

With many people working remotely during the lockdown, it's now more important than ever to ensure you protect yourself online and avoid becoming a victim of cybercrime. A large majority of these attacks can be negated with straightforward advice and being able to identify phishing emails from genuine ones. During this session we aim to show you just how phishing attacks work, how criminals steal information using this attack vector & use it to commit crime, and some of the simple steps you can take to boost your cyber security.
