Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting devices, networks, applications, and data from unauthorized access, disruption, or manipulation. It blends technology, processes, and people to reduce risk and ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Scareware is a type of online scam that displays fake virus alerts or security warnings to trick you into thinking your computer is infected or damaged. The goal is to scare you into calling a fake tech support number, where scammers may try to steal your personal data, gain remote access to your device, or charge you for “repairs” that aren’t needed. A Scareware blocker, like the one in Microsoft Edge, detects these scam sites and warns you before any harm is done.
