Balough Discusses Cybersecurity Protection with Realtor Group

Realtors and small businesses should take simple steps to protect themselves from crimes and fraud on the internet, Richard C. Balough said at a meeting of the Northern Illinois Commercial Association of Realtors.  Those steps include keeping malware software up to date, not clicking on links within emails, blocking pop-ups, and routinely backing up data.

Joining him on the cybercrime panel were Detectives Jason Cudabec and Christopher Coronado of the Aurora police department who specialize in financial and cybercrimes and Jacob Kitchel of Commonwealth Edison.
