With May 25  around the corner, the entire world is panicking  about how the EU’s  General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will affect them.  Hackers are taking advantage of the confusion to send Airbnb customers phishing emails asking them to accept new privacy policies based on the GDPR regulations. They are told that they are not able to make further bookings until they do so.

This is a reminder to visit an organization’s website using a URL that you have bookmarked or find with a Google search, when you receive an email with a link or attachment in it. Any information that you need you will be able to access from their website. If you cannot find the information, the website will have a legitimate contact number listed that you can use to call them.  Under no circumstances should you ever click on a link in an email from an organization or company.
