Cyber Security: Keep Your Online Accounts Safe

Cyber fraud continues to escalate and evolve, and security requires vigilance. We would like to remind you that your entire organization must learn and adapt over time. AAFCPAs Wealth Management, an affiliate of AAFCPAs, has provided a summary of some of the threats of significant concern in 2017 used to steal identity and login credentials. After gaining access to an investor’s personal information, criminals can use it to commit various types of fraudulent activity.  We have also provided an Investor Protection Checklist, in an effort to help you and your family better protect your wealth.

AAFCPAs encourages clients to embrace these measures to help protect their identity and mitigate potential security risks. Please carefully review this Security Checklist with all members of your household.  We also encourage you to:

• Notify your Wealth Advisor if you change your current address so they may update your records.
• Notify your Wealth Advisor if you suspect that your email account has been compromised.

High-net-worth individuals are especially attractive targets for cyberattacks, and ensuring the security of client information is a top priority for AAFCPAs Wealth Management. We continuously review security procedures to ensure that we are following best practices recommended by the custodians, financial institutions, and the IT security experts with whom we work.
We encourage you to remain vigilant!
