Your 3 Shields Against This Threat
NEVER UPDATE FROM AN EMAIL LINK
Scammers send fake "Urgent Update Required!" emails. Always go directly to the official website or your device's official app store to get updates.
PAY ATTENTION TO TECH NEWS
If you hear a major software company has been hacked, pause. Hold off on updating that software until the company gives the official all-clear.
USE A REPUTABLE SECURITY SUITE
Good antivirus software acts as a safety net, often detecting and stopping malicious updates before they can harm you.
