 As a reminder, the National Cyber Security Alliance defines “phishing” as follows:

“Phishing attacks e-mail or malicious Web sites to solicit personal, often financial information. Attackes may send e-mail, seemingly from a reputable credit card company or financial institution that requests account information, often suggesting that there is a problem. When users respond with the requested information, attackers can use it to gain access to the accounts.”

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your support person as you normally would for any computer-related problems or call American Modern systems support at 1-866-527-9583.
