Client Security Advisory: Stay Vigilant Against Election Day Scams and Phishing Attacks

by: Align

With today being Election Day, cybercriminals may attempt to exploit the event to target individuals and organizations with phishing scams, misinformation, and other malicious tactics.

At Align Managed Services, we’re committed to ensuring your cybersecurity remains robust, especially during periods of heightened cyber risk.

What to Watch For:

  • Be Wary of Unsolicited Emails or Texts: Phishing emails may appear to provide urgent election updates or offer links to information on polling or voting. Verify the sender’s address before opening any links or attachments, and do not share personal information.
  • Verify Website URLs: Only visit trusted websites for election-related information. Cybercriminals may create fake websites that mimic reputable sources. Be sure to double-check URLs before entering any information.
  • Avoid Suspicious Links and Attachments: Never click on links or open attachments in unexpected emails. This is a common phishing method and can lead to malware infection.
  • Report Suspicious Activity: If you or your team encounter any suspicious emails or incidents, please report them to our support team immediately.

Align Recommendations:

  • Before responding to or interacting with any such communications, please reach out to our support team for verification. We are here to help you confirm the legitimacy of these messages and ensure your business stays secure.
  • Report Suspicious Activity: If you suspect any unusual communications please report it to our IT support team immediately.
