I didn’t do any Notes from the Meeting which was a Christmas Quiz hosted by Phil Edwards, but Jim obliged with a photo – sorry for the delay in posting; I’d left it as a draft post. Duh!
Notes from Zoom meeting – 17th December 2020
How much do you know about computer fraud?
Recently in a U3A meeting we discussed Computer Fraud. We often do, or so it seems. If it’s not fraud, it’s security online, or scams and what’s done with our data … but more about that later!!!
This short post is just to alert people to a simple, short quiz (or test) that has been produced in conjunction with the UK Government to help people recognise fraudulent activity.
Go to this website, satisfy yourself it’s genuine and is a government backed initiative, and take the test and see how you do. According to the Daily Mail – so it must be true – only 9% of people taking the test were able to accurately recognise all the scams and false messages, that despite a claim that 80% felt that they were able to recognise a fraudulent message.
