Why did we hold a Phishing Video Contest?sick-computer-with-psaw

Phishing is the highest risk for email-related information breaches at VCH.  “Phishing” is the act of attempting to obtain information from you (user names, passwords, or financial information) by pretending to be a trustworthy source.  This is usually done through email.  We want all staff to avoid becoming victims of a common risk we all face as email users.  The Information Privacy Office is currently spearheading a project to review our current email usage policy to potentially make it more permissible for staff to use email for various business purposes, including sharing confidential or personal informaton.  Arming staff with the knowledge to thwart phishing attacks is essential to mitigating the risks of using email to communicate confidential and personal information.
