Stay Protected Against the Latest Digital Threats with OnPoint Community Credit Union’s 2025 Cybersecurity eBook

Posted by on October 9, 2025

In 2024, U.S. consumers lost a record $12.5 billion to fraud, with 1 in 4 adults falling victim. Tech support scams, investment scams, and impostor scams ranked among the key threats, and young adults and the elderly remain top targets of scammers.

In response, OnPoint Community Credit Union released its 2025 “The OnPoint Guide to Personal Cybersecurity” eBook to help consumers protect themselves and stay informed about the latest online threats. OnPoint updates the free eBook every October in observance of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

“Technology makes so many things easier for consumers, but unfortunately that also extends to cybercriminals,” said Damian Laviolette, Chief Information Officer, OnPoint Community Credit Union. “The red flags are not quite as red these days, so it’s critical to stay up to date on the latest trends and be vigilant about your online safety. We are committed to providing members and non-members with the tools and knowledge they need.”

The latest trends in online fraud include:

  • Cybercriminals continue to improve techniques with AI and automation.
  • Youth and seniors are the most at-risk populations.
  • Your smart devices have become targets.

Top Four Tips for Cybersecurity:

  • Always verify the sender.
  • Watch out for too-good-to-be-true offers.
  • Talk to your children and elderly family members about cybersecurity.
  • Protect your devices.
