Why is telehealth relevant to me?

Online scams have been around for decades. Most of us are aware of threats posed by phony websites and suspicious emails; these tactics are well-documented and extremely popular. But as our technological landscape has changed, hackers have found new ways of collecting our personal information. Even scarier, the current global pandemic has given malicious users an easy way to catch our attention, and the widespread stay-at-home order means that they have a captive audience.
