Cyber Security Month takes place during October. It was created to educate internet users about online security and the simple steps they can take to protect themselves. The campaign's goal is to bring together all levels of government, the public and private sectors, and the international community, to help internet users be safer online.
Cyber Security Month aims to reduce the number of Canadians falling victim to cybercrime by creating awareness, sharing prevention tips and creating informed internet users.
On Thursday, October 29, 2015, at 1 p.m., Toronto Police Service Financial Crimes will be joined by our special guests the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and Symantec Canada to answer questions on cyber security. Members of the public can follow @Canantifraud and @SymantecCanada using the hashtag #Fraudchat on twitter.
To follow #fraudchat, members of the public simply need to log on to Twitter from 1 p.m., to 2 p.m., EST and follow the #Fraudchat hashtag. An application such as Tweetdeck, which allows users to separately view tweets containing this hashtag, is also helpful in following the chat.
