October is national Cyber Security Awareness Month, which invites British Columbia’s digital citizens to consider “our shared responsibility” to stay alert for the latest cyber security threats.

Approximately 70% of Canadians have experienced cyber-crime. While many people take steps to guard themselves, the types of threats are continually evolving. This is why it is important to take a moment and discuss online safeguards with friends, co-workers and familes – especially those with children.

Most cyber security threats can be avoided by taking simple steps.
