Watch out for Hurricane Harvey phishing scams

Hurricane Harvey's destruction has attracted online scammers looking to prey on people who want to make kindhearted donations.
The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team issued a warning Monday that thieves are taking advantage of the disaster by using email and social networks to send out bogus links that promise to let you help victims.

Instead, the links lead to phony websites where cybercriminals try to steal your credit card and personal info. Other cyberthieves have been setting up fake charities where the organizers end up pocketing all the money.
