At WSAI, client confidentiality is of paramount concern to us.

Below are best practices and guidelines to help you protect yourself and understand your role with respect to the Internet.

Internet Fraud and Phishing

Phishing, the practice of using fraudulent e-mails and copies of legitimate websites to extract data and personal information from unsuspecting computer users, continues to expand in sophistication.

Because phishing materials often look genuine and may appear to originate from real people, organizations, institutions and websites, the following precautions are suggested:

E-mail Precautions:

• Be cautious about clicking any links, opening any attachments, or downloading any files from e- mails regardless of file type or sender.
• Never open a website using a link provided in a suspicious e-mail. Links and the sender’s e-mail address can be forged.
• Avoid including sensitive personal information in e-mail messages.
• Be wary of any request that asks you to participate in a “Security Check”, “Activation”,“Verification” or any request to wire funds or make other payments).Computer System Precautions:

• Keep computer security software up to date with the latest security patches.

Unsolicited Communications

E-mail fraud is a common way by which thieves attempt to steal your information. Here are some examples:

• Illegitimate e-mails advertising the sale of items at a reduced or even unrealistic price.
• Requests for assistance scams usually offering the recipient large sums of money in exchange for financial assistance. A common example involves requesting a user’s bank account informationin order to facilitate a deposit into the user’s account.
• Phony sender e-mails purport to come from executives of an organization (e.g. John Doe, CEO).These e-mails often request personal or confidential information and may contain a “special”offer in order to solicit a response.
• When contacting your sender to verify a request for information, use only a phone number thatcomes from a reliable source (e.g., the phonebook).

Here are some tips to help you avoid spam scams:

• Protect your information. Do not share any personal or financial information with unverified orquestionable organizations or individuals.
• Question the provider. Know who the business is and its contact information.
• Time is on your side. Be wary of e-mails that implore you to “act immediately.”
• Be wary of free offers. Never exchange payment or financial information in order to obtain afree item.
• Be proactive in securing your data. Periodically evaluate the risks that you face whenconducting business online and take the appropriate steps to ensure that your business activities and data are safeguarded.
