Hertfordshire Constabulary is offering Bishop’s Stortford residents a free cybercrime advice session at the library.
The free event, organised and delivered by specialist Cyber Protect officers from the Serious Fraud and Cyber Unit, will take place on Thursday, July 4, from 10.45am to 3.30pm.
Talks will be delivered by Cyber Protect officers, Trading Standards and the Beacon Victim Service Team and there will be free tea and biscuits.
Cyber Protect Officer Chen Tsui said: “Cybercrime and fraud is constantly evolving and with new threats posed by artificial intelligence software, it has never been more important to make sure you have the latest advice to protect yourself online.
“Most people now shop, bank and socialise online in some way and criminals are particularly good at targeting elderly and vulnerable people who may find the cyber world confusing.
“These sessions and talks are completely free and you can drop in anytime between the times advertised.
“They are for anyone who is unsure of how to keep themselves and their accounts safe and secure online, our experts will be able to give you practical advice on what to look out for, how to avoid common scams and recognise new ones.”
