Free “Cyb3r Citiz3n” forum coming to Centennial Hall

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

October 27, 2011 from 4:30-6:00 pm
UA Centennial Hall (east of Park Avenue & Main Gate Square), 1020 E University Blvd.

Do you know who’s behind the screen? Here are a few things to consider:

Malware attacks have increased by 400% since 2010.

More than 36 million Americans have been victims of identity theft. Arizona continues to be in the top two states for this crime, which is the top complaint to the Federal Trade Commission.

Many of us use only one or two passwords across many sites, including our banking sites.
Only 57% of computer users use security software, and of those, only 64% have their software set to update automatically.

The average Facebook user doesn’t know one-fifth of the people listed as friends.
How do you keep from being a victim? Plan to attend the UA’s Cyber Citizen Forum, which is being hosted as part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Stop.Think.Connect.™ Campaign.

This community forum is designed to share information on identity theft, fraud and phishing, social networking security, cyberbullying and cyberpredators.

Door prizes include:
iPads
Gift cards
iPod
Printers
Digital camera
Netbook

Please note: must be present to win

This event is free and open to the public — plan to attend, and bring a friend!
