Pat Brown, center, of Giga Systems presented Kingfisher Rotarians with a talk on cyber security at the club’s luncheon earlier this month. Brown said scammers typically tend to target the elderly. He said anytime phone callers ask for Social Security numbers or passwords, the best response is to immediately hang up the telephone. He also advised that we should never allow others to log into our computers under the guise of correcting software difficulties. Caution should be used concerning posting personal information and too much information about loved ones and relatives on Facebook and other social media sites, he said. Government agencies will never call over the phone to initiate inquiries, so one should never trust callers saying they are with the IRS, CIA or FBI, Brown noted. Pictured with Brown are, from left, Shauna Rupp and Laura Callaham of the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce. [KT&FP Staff Photo]
