Fraudsters may pose as Knott Learning LLC or KnottLearning.com and create fraudulent websites, send emails, or make phone calls to solicit monetary payments or other personal information. 

Our company places great importance on cybersecurity and fraud prevention. We want to highlight some very information to help you better understand the potential threats.

Malicious Emails and Websites

An unsuspecting email from your bank, credit card company, or other financial institution may secretly be an attempt to steal your identity, personal information, or your money. “Phishing” is a common tactic of cyber criminals that relies on “spoofed” emails or fraudulent websites to collect personal and financial information or infect your computer or mobile phone with viruses.

If you click on a malicious link, you may unknowingly install malware on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone. Malware is software designed to cause damage to a digital device. The most common form of malware is a virus, which is typically designed to give criminals access to the device.

Ransomware is another form of malware. A hacker using ransomware accesses a victim’s files, locks and encrypts them, and then demands the victim pay a ransom to get them back. Ransomware is like the “digital kidnapping” of valuable data, which can include personal files, business information, and other financial records.

Social Media Impersonation

Criminals are increasingly using social media to build relationships with victims and ultimately steal data. Typically, these actors create fake accounts that appear to be official accounts for an individual or company.

Social media impersonation can also refer to the takeover of real accounts. Hackers gain access to legitimate social media accounts, and then use this access to cause reputational damage to an individual or a company.
