Two words which received world fame ever since Trump used them in a speech. In his speech, the president of the United States, lashed out at the press. Nowadays, the term \u2018fake news\u2019 not only refers to journalists anymore, but it\u2019s also connected to cybercriminals.\n

Netpresenter to the rescue!<\/h4>\nFake news isn’t only a threat to computers at home, it can also be a serious danger for your company. If one of your employees does not recognize a fake article and opens it, a virus can easily enter your corporate system. Therefore, it\u2019s important that your employees are aware and stay aware of (new) cyberthreats. Netpresenter to the rescue! You can, for example, improve the knowledge of your workforce by repeating small pieces of information displayed on corporate screensavers<\/a>. In case of a cyberattack, it\u2019s also possible to send an alert<\/a> to all connected PCs, TVs and mobile devices within your organization.\n\nIn addition to protecting your systems and devices, your employees can also defend themselves in the battle against these fake journalists. Five tips to be victorious:\n

1) Be critical<\/h4>\nDoes a news article suddenly pop up on your social media timeline? Know that every random person can create, publish and share a news article on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. An article might not be written by a professional.\n

2) Do the account check!<\/h4>\nCheck who posted the article on social media. Cybercriminals master the art of creating fake accounts. There is a big chance that an account is fake when it has a strange name, or, for example, it has several questionable articles which reached a lot of followers.\n\n\"Check<\/a>\n

3) Reliable source?<\/h4>\nWhen you click on an article and you\u2019re directed to a website, check if the source is reliable. Read the disclaimer or go to the \u2018about us\u2019 section. Unfortunately, the damage is often already done if you click on the article.\n

4) Other media<\/h4>\nIf a news article appears on your social media timeline, see if other media write about it as well. Question the authenticity of an article, if you don\u2019t read the news anywhere else.\n

5) Watch, don’t click!<\/h4>\nAlways analyze images which are added to a news article. Don\u2019t click, just watch! An image might be perfectly photoshopped or maybe the picture seems familiar to you.\n\nAnd last but not least: Attention! Fake news might contain pieces of truth. Always read the entire article.\n\nCurious about more tips and how Netpresenter can help you combat fake news? We\u2019re happy to help. Contact us<\/a> or ask for a free demo<\/a>.
