Our industry has seen a huge rise in cyber attacks looking to exploit COVID-19 through phishing emails posing to be from government health organisations, as well as targeting the various tools and services that people are getting used to using.
Our technology teams at Carnival UK are working to make sure that our services remain safe and secure to use by the business and, together with our global teams, are closely monitoring cyber-threats so that we can protect Carnival UK from attacks.
How can I help keep myself protected working from home?
- Create secure passwords and limit the amount of information you make available online
- Keep your device up to date with the latest software patches
- Be wary of suspicious emails – watch out for the tell-tale signs
- Ask – do I know the source/person?
- Ask – was I expecting to be contacted by them? (Email, telephone, text or chat message)
- Are they asking you to do something? (Open an attachment or link, or send them information?)
- Check the source of emails before clicking on a link or downloading an attachment
- Always connect to Carnival UK systems via Virtual Private Network (VPN)
- Look after your devices – report it immediately if lost
- When working from home, consider your surroundings when using video conferencing, ensure nothing sensitive in nature is visible
