Online scams, Ransomware Attacks, Phishing and More. Let's talk Cyber Security!

Welcome to a City of Redding Podcast. We’re talking Cyber Security today. If you have a computer, a phone, a bank account or a social security number, and aren’t just living under a rock, this episode is for you! Cyber security is something everyone is worried about, but might not know where to start, or know what to watch out for.  This is why Rob McQueen, Cyber Security Officer for the City of Redding, plays a key role in making sure the City data is safe and secure.  

But he also has a lot of great tips and tricks for the community too.  Phishing, Malware, Ransom attacks, and your basic scammers are unfortunately all around us.  How should you keep yourself and your family safe online?  And what should you look out for?

Just in time for Cyber Security Awareness Month, which happens nationally in October each year, Rob will answer these questions as well as talk about the future of cyber security in the age of self-driving cars and AI technology.
