Phishing is the fraudulent practice of sending emails or other messages with links and other attacks to deceive people into handing over sensitive information or installing malicious software.  Phishing has been around for a long time.

Now, scammers are using QR codes to carry out their attacks, aka, Quishing.  QR codes are everywhere: in restaurants, mass transportation, commercials, and to access product information manuals.  They are using QR Codes to target mobile phones, which are more vulnerable to attacks than desktop operating systems.

Protect yourself by not scanning a QR code until you verify the validity of the sender, especially a QR code sent in an email.

The cellular companies' 5G is no match for MTCO digiMAX Internet. Here's what you will get:

• Slow upload speeds  = lag and 

   frustration

• Internet speeds that are throttled and 

   shared with neighbors 

• 5G Home Internet is “for residents 

   without access to traditional high-speed 

   Internet options.”

• Speed offerings that are not offered in 

   our local areas.

Don’t be duped by their slick marketing and consider the local provider that gives you the speed that you pay for and quality service with local service and support.
