(Beaver County, PA) A new scam is getting the attention of officials in federal cybersecurity that was first seen in 2021. A ransomware called Medusa is a data-breaking site that can take data from your email if you are not careful to avoid certain notifications. The system uses a pop-up to tell you to pay information to try to take personal details like your social security number. According to federal authorities, several email websites including Outlook and Gmail can be hacked.
