Library Director to present program on cybersecurity at the Weaver Library

 

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Library Director Michael Carlozzi will present a program on cybersecurity essentials at the Weaver Library on Monday, November 25, 2019 at 7pm.

 

From ransomware to SIM card swaps, criminals possess an arsenal of tools to steal identities and make lives miserable.

It will also tell you what to do in case you find yourself a victim of such attacks so your response can be swift and systematic. Subjects covered will include old threats such as “phishing” as well as emerging risks like ransomware and SIM (phone) swapping.
