These are three great videos from The City of London Police Cyber Griffin Team talking about phishing, vishing and social engineering. They were developed in March 2020 as many countries were entering into ‘lockdown’ in response to COVID 19 and needing to work from home. They are UK focussed but the information and guidance remains applicable at all times where-ever you are based in the world. Do also consider watching the other guides in the series.
