CYBER SAFE at sports EVENTS

Hey there, sports fans! Ready for the game? While you’re in the stands cheering, criminals could be lurking to try and compromise your personal information. Here are some tips on how to stay cyber-safe while enjoying the game.

• Guard Your Wi-Fi Connection: Using public Wi-Fi at the stadium? Think again. Use your mobile data instead to keep hackers on the sidelines.
• Beware of Phony Hotspots: Scammers love crowds. They might set up fake Wi-Fi hotspots to trick you. Always check the network name with stadium staff, or better yet, stick to your own data.
• Keep Your Phone Close: Crowds can get wild, and so can pickpockets. Keep your phone and wallet secure and within sight at all times.
• Double-Check Those Links: Getting a last-minute ticket deal via email or text? Pause and check it out. If the link or offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• Use Secure Payment Methods: Buying merch or food? Use contactless payments if you can, and always keep an eye on your credit card.
• Post Wisely: Sharing your game day fun on social media? Make sure your profiles are private and avoid oversharing details like your seat number or location.

Game on, but let’s keep it safe out there! Your digital safety is part of the play, so stay alert and enjoy the game without any unwanted interruptions.
