3 People in Whittlesey Subjected to Digital Scams Last Week
These ‘3’ are the ones who have sought help – we don’t know the ones who are ashamed or have not reported their issue.
With more than 4 billion records exposed, 2019 hit a milestone in cybercrime. We know it’s hard to keep track of the daily flood of security and data breaches, so here we lay out some of the more significant ones that may have affected you or your family last year
Elastic SearchServer.
What Happened
1.2 billion user records containing personal and social information from two data enrichment companies were compromised.
Facebook
What Happened
More than 267 million user IDs, phone numbers and names of Facebook users were left exposed on an online database.
Although no evidence of compromised Facebook accounts was found, the data may be used for SMS, phishing scams and identity theft.
eBay
What Happened
Hackers accessed encrypted passwords and non-financial data of 145 million customers through a couple of compromised employee login credentials.
Leaked customer names, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth may be used for phishing and online scams.
Capital One
What Happened
Personal information of over 100 million of the bank’s customers and credit card applicants was compromised by exploiting a misconfigured web application firewall.
The bank said it found no evidence that the data was used for fraud or shared to other parties, but it offered free credit monitoring and identity protection to affected parties.
TravelEx
What Happened
Data breach and being held to ransom – online business not working for over two weeks.
What You Can Do
You do have a great degree of control over the security of your private and personal data. Using different passwords for all of your accounts and setting up two-factor authentication, where available, is a big part of it.
Take back control! Avoid becoming a victim by staying up to date with the latest data breaches, by monitoring your digital footprint for impersonation or identity fraud risks, and by monitoring your accounts and financial data for suspicious behavior or alerts.
Your digital identity is who you are. Knowing how much and what type of personal information may have been exposed online is the first step towards taking immediate action to prevent your social security number, credit card, passwords, emails or other online identifiers from being used against you or in fraudulent ways.

Future Road Works Planned In Our Area
I try and post these works as we receive them, however ‘we’ as a Council do not normally get pre-warned of works carried out by Peterborough City Council.

Beware of Courier Scam(s)
| We are urging members of the public to be aware of instances of courier fraud targeting elderly people. Figures from the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) show instances of courier fraud across the country are on the rise and affecting some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.Throughout the rest of this month police forces across the country are focussing on raising awareness of the different types of courier fraud to protect those most likely to fall victim. Courier fraud is when criminals cold call a victim, typically claiming to be a police officer or bank official. Offences are often committed by organised crime groups who target the elderly and vulnerable. Examples of specific instances have been where following a phone call, the fraudsters then claim there is an issue with the victim’s bank account or request their assistance with an ongoing bank or police investigation. The ultimate aim of the call being to lure them into handing over money or their bank details. Common techniques used by the fraudsters include telling the victim to withdraw large sums of cash, purchase an expensive item, or provide their bank cards or details. In all cases, a ‘courier’ will then come and pick up the cash or items, on behalf of the police or bank. They will often come to the victim’s home address. There were 233 reports of courier fraud in the eastern region in 2019 (up until 24 December) with total losses of more than £620,000. Your bank or the police will never call you to ask you to verify your personal details or PIN by phone or offer to pick up your card by courier. Hang up if you get a call like this. Your debit or credit card is yours – don’t let a stranger take it off you. You should only ever have to hand it over at your bank. If it’s cancelled, you should destroy it yourself. If you are suspicious about a telephone conversation you should end the call and contact police via the non-emergency number, 101. Ideally use a mobile phone or a friend’s phone or wait at least five minutes before calling to ensure you aren’t reconnected to the offender. Please also remember that your bank and the police would:

Flood Warnings In Effect – Thurs 16th @ 12:32am & Wed 09:23am
B1040 Thorney to Whittlesey Road to the South of the River Nene.
Flooding is expected – immediate action required.
The Whittlesey Wash flood storage reservoir is being operated to protect nearby communities from flooding. The rising levels in the Wash will result in flooding of the B1040 road. Whilst the Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority may close the B1040 for safety reasons. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media.

North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice.
Flooding is expected – immediate action required.
Levels remain high on the River Nene following periods of heavy rainfall over the last few days across the catchment. During periods of high tide the river will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding at North Bank Road. Whilst the Flood Warning is in force, which will be at least for the next 24 hours, the Local Authority will close North Bank Road. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media.
