This morning the US-CERT or United States Computer Emergency Readiness team sent an email as part of Cybersecurity awareness month. The email focuses on Online cybersecurity advice such as protecting your digital home, tips on the IoT and mobile security as well as cybersecurity for electronic devices and a link to the DHS webpage on securing the IoT.
Unfortunately many of the links they sent were bad. We did some digging. Here is the email with the correct links. Enjoy, stay secure and thanks for reading.
