familycybercenter.com We haven't been building much course work as life has been focused on a puppy for a bit. We are finally finding some air and getting back into the momentum we want to build here. The last month has been a lot of work behind the scenes to define core services, implement systems, defining frameworks, building artifacts, and doing soft launch testing. I'm eager to tiptoe into paid services and continue to grow our value to individuals, family's, and small teams. At the same time I hope we can move into the paid space with grace as we are creating something from scratch both technically and as a concept. I want to thank everyone for the initial support as we have built the foundation for this company. I expect to see momentum continue to grow as the core structure continues to solidify itself :) Please reach out with any questions or thoughts either on platform or directly to info@familycybercenter.com

We're starting to cook up more courses and valuable resources. We put together a trusted directory with over 100 contacts for you to reach out to for various concerns.

Mountain America Credit Union is a regional bank that services the South Western region of the United States mostly. In a recent publication they raise awareness for their clients about cybersecurity risks. The biggest takeaway revolves around receiving incoming requests for personal information. As a general rule of thumb any time you get a call, text (especially text), email, smoke signal, or any other form of communication to you from an outside source you should not respond directly with your personal information. Call the company directly using contact information on their official website instead.

APS is a local utility company to Arizona that recently sent out a notice to empower its customers to avoid scams. While the message speaks specifically towards APS and how it operates, the messaging included in the notice really applies to general scam awareness: Recognizing a Scam - Threat to shut off: Scammers often contact customers claiming their energy bill is past due and service will be shut off unless a payment is made right away – usually within an hour or less. - Request for immediate payment: Scammers may instruct customers to call them back after they purchase a prepaid card. - Request for prepaid card: When the customer calls back, the scammer asks the customer for the prepaid card’s number, which grants instant access to the card’s funds, and the victim’s money is gone. - Solar installers claiming to partner with APS: Be wary of solar installers that claim to be affiliated with APS or offer special deals or incentives by phone or door-to-door. Learn about our Qualified Technology Installer (QTI) program designed to help customers find trustworthy technology installers for their homes. - Spoofing: Scammers and robocallers sometimes use technology to modify phone numbers and caller IDs. It’s called “spoofing.” Not only are scammers spoofing APS phone numbers, but we’ve received reports of scammers spoofing the numbers of community service organizations like Chicanos Por La Causa.
