How to Protect Yourself from Cyber Crimes Scholarship Contest

Scholarship Value: $1,500
Awards Available: 1

Since the invention of the internet, we have been given the opportunity to have any kind of information at our fingertips.

We can look up different statistics, gather information on world news, read funny articles, learn how to cook, and play the piano.

However, with all the information we have access to, we also pose the risk of having that information stolen and used against us.

Cybercrimes are a very serious offense and the punishments vary based on the seriousness of the crime being committed.

Some examples of cyber crimes include spam, identity theft, credit card fraud, and cyberbullying, to name just a few.

Cybercrimes are a very serious crime and if you are a victim of cybercrime it can be very stressful on a person.

The Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong want to hear from you and want to know what are the best ways to protect yourself from cybercrime. Tell us in 500 words or fewer some of the best ways that we can prevent ourselves from falling victim to cybercrimes.
