Dear Readers:

With a COVID vaccine approved, be careful, because, as with a lot of things, here come the scammers.

Always check with your doctor and or pharmacist before reaching out to an online pharmacy or anyone calling, texting or emailing you stating they have a COVID vaccine.

Never give out any personal informatio­n to these people.

Dear Readers:

Two factor authentica­tion, what is it? Think of it as an extra layer of protection when you’re online.

When you log onto a website (a financial institutio­n, your email or other online accounts) from a different computer than you normally use, you may be asked, after you enter your password, to enter a code (often six digits) that is texted to you. This extra step helps keep hackers away.
