CISA Warns of Hurricane Scams

September 1, 2023
Reading Time: 1 min read
in Alerts

CISA has issued a warning about the potential for malicious cyber activity in the wake of natural disasters, particularly hurricanes. The agency emphasizes that attackers often exploit the vulnerability of disaster victims and concerned citizens by utilizing social engineering tactics.

These tactics encompass phishing schemes where threat actors masquerade as reliable individuals or organizations, such as disaster-relief charities, to extract personal information through email or malicious websites.

To stay protected, CISA advises individuals to exercise caution when dealing with emails containing subject lines, attachments, or hyperlinks related to disasters. Additionally, vigilance is crucial concerning social media requests and text messages linked to severe weather events.

In the effort to prevent falling victim to cyber scams, CISA suggests users consult various resources. These include the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on “Staying Alert to Disaster-related Scams” and “Before Giving to a Charity.”

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s information on “Frauds and Scams” is also recommended, along with CISA’s own resources on “Using Caution with Email Attachments” and “Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks.”

By being aware of these tactics and resources, individuals can better safeguard themselves against potential threats during times of disaster vulnerability.
