Cyber security drop-in sessions today

The government is teaming up with telecoms providers today to help people stay safe online.

Officials will be joined by staff of Manx Telecom and Sure at the Sea Terminal in Douglas to hold free drop-in sessions to provide advice on how to avoid dangers on the web as part of Safer Internet Day.

As part of the event, residents are also being invited to bring in their own devices such as laptops, tablets and phones to get a free security health check.

Those interested in heading down can do so between 10.30am and 12.30pm and again between 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
