                    <p>Hurricane Harvey has been creating havoc for almost a week now. There have been at least 28 deaths related to the hurricane and tons of property damage.</p><p>The destruction from the historic storm is heartbreaking and there could be more to come. Now, cybercriminals are starting to pile on and cause more problems.</p>   <!-- Komando_300x250_336x280_InContent_1 --><div align="center" id="Komando_300x250_336x280_InContent_1">        <script data-cfasync="false" type="text/javascript">            freestar.queue.push(function () { googletag.display('Komando_300x250_336x280_InContent_1'); });        </script>   </div></p><h3>DHS warning about malicious cyber activity</h3><p>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is warning everyone to watch out for "malicious cyber activity." Phishing attacks related to Hurricane Harvey are spreading across the U.S. at a rampant pace.</p><p>What's happening is, scammers are trying to capitalize on interest in the massive storm. DHS warns that you need to watch out for any email with the subject line, attachments, or hyperlinks related to Hurricane Harvey, even if it appears to come from a trusted source.</p><p>That's because fraudulent emails are being sent that contain links or attachments that direct victims to phishing or malware-infected websites. There are also emails requesting donations from phony charitable organizations. Unfortunately, this is common following major natural disasters like this.</p><p>DHS is encouraging everyone to use caution with emails dealing with Hurricane Harvey. Take the following preventative measures to protect yourself from phishing scams and malware campaigns:</p><h3>Do your research before donating</h3><p><a href="https://www.komando.com/happening-now/416334/alert-hurricane-harvey-scams-spreading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">We warned you earlier this week about numerous scams associated with this hurricane</a>. You really need to choose the organization to which you're donating wisely so you don't get scammed. <a href="https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2017/08/wise-giving-wake-hurricane-harvey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here</a> to review the Federal Trade Commission's information on wise giving in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.</p><p>Don't forget to listen to our podcast discussing Hurricane Harvey charities. <style>
