Kanye West, Obama, and countless Internet celebrities <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/07\/26\/tech\/twitter-hack-remote-working-security-risks\/index.html\">found their accounts inaccessible<\/a>, the hacker using their accounts to advertise their Bitcoin wallet, where users could send them <em>money<\/em>. This hack put things into perspective for many people, notably the fragility of their online security. If Twitter\u2019s security became vulnerable due to working remotely, what about other workers working remotely? Are they at risk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, they are very much at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Risks Remote Workers Face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote workers face countless cyber-risks in their day-to-day lives, and they may not even realize it! Let\u2019s go over a few of these risks before discussing the ways remote workers can stay safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. Getting Fooled by Phishing Scams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Phishing scams are perhaps the oldest trick in the book for cybercriminals. Instead of relying on special software, phishing scams rely on social engineering, the practice of manipulating someone into committing a certain action. In the case of phishing, this action typically includes the telling of personal information, including card numbers, social security numbers, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all phishing scams are subtle (the Nigerian Prince phishing email being a prime example), but other cybercriminals play it smart and create a cohesive, compelling story. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesslstore.com\/blog\/phishing-statistics-latest-phishing-stats-to-know\/\">Many people<\/a> fall for phishing scams every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Becoming a Victim of Data Breaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A data breach involves a company\u2019s systems being compromised, with hackers then stealing or releasing the once-confidential information found within. Of course, data breaches can happen outside of the workplace too, affecting people on the individual level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote workers suffer the brunt of data breaches nowadays. If a remote worker were to find themselves as the \u201cpatient zero\u201d of a data breach, they not only risk compromising their own security, but the security of the company they work\u2014a lose-lose situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Ways to Keep Safe While Working From Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know a couple of the ways you\u2019re at risk of cybercriminals as a remote worker, let\u2019s go over the ways you can <em>protect <\/em>yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>1. Being More Aware of Your Security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The tech industry has a certain piece of slang to sum up a subset of issues that risk the user\u2019s security: PEBCAK. PEBCAK stands for \u201cproblem exists between chair and keyboard\u201d and exists because many tech issues end up being the fault of our own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This goes double for cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to be more aware of what you\u2019re doing and interacting with while online. For example, be careful about what emails you click on. Minimizing human error can go a long way for your security. Below are a few ways in which you can minimize human error, as listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><u><strong>1.1 Identifying Cloned Accounts<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the two images below we have a FAKE account on the left-hand side and a REAL account on the right-hand side. You should always check the person\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>username<\/strong>&nbsp;very carefully for misspelling.&nbsp;As you can see, there is a very subtle change&nbsp;in&nbsp;the spelling of \u201cadcock\u201d to\u201d&nbsp;adcoc\u201d \u2013 missing the K, this slight change by the potential fraudster is a clone of a real user and an attempt to solicit information or funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.18.21-PM-1024x549.png\" alt=\"Identifying Cloned Accounts\" class=\"wp-image-1701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.18.21-PM-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.18.21-PM-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.18.21-PM-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.18.21-PM.png 1172w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><u><strong>1.2 Identifying Fake Emails<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the example below, we can see that \u201cJames\u201d, our potential&nbsp;fraudster&nbsp;has been in touch using an email registered with&nbsp;<strong>Outlook.com<\/strong>&nbsp;and has mentioned the company name as part of the unique address.&nbsp; Sometimes this can be misconstrued because the email provider highlights the first name \u201c<strong>James<\/strong>\u201d and the last name \u201c<strong>Coinlisting<\/strong>\u201d in this case. Therefore giving the reader the impression that James is from Coinlisting. This is NOT the case, as James is using an Outlook domain and can be from anywhere!<strong><u><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to take a look at the language used in the email and to see if it matches your expectations of an email be received from a professional organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.19.54-PM-1024x403.png\" alt=\"Identifying Fake Emails\" class=\"wp-image-1702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.19.54-PM-1024x403.png 1024w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.19.54-PM-300x118.png 300w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.19.54-PM-768x302.png 768w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.19.54-PM.png 1128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><u><strong>1.3 Identifying Fake or Unrealistic Offers<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is often said that if an offer is too good to be true, then it probably is. In the past years, there had been a wave of fraudsters posing as well as known individuals offering \u201cFREE\u201d cryptocurrencies, if the user first pays a small amount. This is a very common scam and is a similar to fake lotteries, items to be delivered scams and releasing funds scams.&nbsp;<strong>Remember, if it sounds&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>too&nbsp;good to be true, it probably is.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.21.48-PM-1024x422.png\" alt=\"Making Sure You\u2019re Secure When Working Remotely From Home\" class=\"wp-image-1703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.21.48-PM-1024x422.png 1024w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.21.48-PM-300x124.png 300w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.21.48-PM-768x317.png 768w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.21.48-PM.png 1038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><u><strong>1.4 Identify when the Scammers are using Trusted Brands<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many scams or phishing attempts include the use of well-known household brands to potentially trick the user into submitting their personal details including password, username and security information. In the example below, we can see that the \u2018scammer\u2019 has sent an email from a fake Tesco\u2019s account before redirecting to what looks like there banking logging page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.32-PM-1024x574.png\" alt=\"Making Sure You\u2019re Secure When Working Remotely From Home\" class=\"wp-image-1704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.32-PM-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.32-PM-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.32-PM-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.32-PM.png 1302w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.47-PM-1024x453.png\" alt=\"Making Sure You\u2019re Secure When Working Remotely From Home\" class=\"wp-image-1705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.47-PM-1024x453.png 1024w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.47-PM-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.47-PM-768x340.png 768w, https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2020-08-03-at-1.25.47-PM.png 1342w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from the above images, the first thing that should ring alarm bells is the use of a domain, which is not tesco.com or tesco.co.uk instead the email has come from&nbsp;<strong>ncl.ac.uk<\/strong>. Furthermore, Tesco in this instance has been spelt with a zero (0) instead of an \u2018o\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website that has been clicked on is very similar, the \u2018scammer\u2019 has probably copied the styles from the actual Tesco bank website. Whilst the form looks the same, not any details entered, will, in fact, be taking by the \u2018scammer\u2019. We can tell that it is a fake website by looking at the URL in the top left-hand corner. It is not taking you to tesco.com, it is instead taking you to a totally different site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in image 2 you can see a small image in the very top corner of the browser. This is called a Favicon (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Favicon\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Favicon<\/a>) not that the fake site in image 1 does not have a favicon. All good websites, will usually have this small icon representing their brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>2. Using a VPN for Your Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think your home network is safe, but the truth is: no network is completely safe. However, that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t ways to secure your network further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to do so is by installing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressvpn.com\/vpn-software\/vpn-router\" rel=\"nofollow\">a home VPN router<\/a>. A VPN router would allow you to encrypt the data on your network, as well as securing all the connected devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope that the above examples have given you some information on what to look out for when communicating online and how to keep safe while working from home.
