Phishing scams are one of the most common ways cybercriminals try to steal your personal information. These scams often appear as emails, text messages, or fake websites designed to look legitimate, tricking you into providing sensitive details like passwords, banking information, or personal data.

Browsing the internet is part of everyday life, whether you are checking the news, shopping online, or looking up local events in PEI. But not all websites are safe, and cyber threats can put your personal information at risk. Here is how to protect yourself while enjoying the web safely.

Picture this: You are enjoying a coffee at one of PEI's cozy cafes when you get a notification that someone is trying to log into your email from another country. If they have your password, they could access your personal information, banking details, and more.

Your passwords are the first line of defense against cyber threats. However, many people unknowingly make common mistakes that leave their accounts vulnerable. Here are five password mistakes you should avoid to keep your information secure.

QR codes are everywhere these days. From restaurant menus to event tickets, store checkouts, and even government services, they make accessing information quick and easy. Instead of typing out a long website address, a simple scan with your phone camera takes you right where you need to go.
