If you’re like me, February went by quickly. Welcome to March! We’re advancing through the semester at a rapid pace and graduation will be here before we all know it. Before that happens, there are a couple of other milestones we will achieve. One of those is Spring Break, happening next week, and the other one I’d like to discuss is April 18th, or Tax Day (at least for 2023). One or both of these dates affect almost anyone reading this newsletter, so allow me a few minutes to remind you of some things to remember.

We’ve made it through one month of 2022. That means that tax season is approaching and with it, the onslaught of phishing and scam emails about taxes, tax forms, refunds, and any other tax-related topic cyber-criminals can come up with.

and most everyone’s bank account is trying to recover from Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. As we move into this season of searching for the best deals, figuring out how to purchase them all, waiting for packages to arrive and being very busy, let’s all remember that to cyber-criminals, scammers, phishers and the like, this season means something very different to them than it does to us.
