Do not panic; investigate the warning

Do not panic; investigate the warning · Proposed air date:

A security program flags the caller's credit-card website, and Dr. Dave refuses both blind trust and panic. He calls it a likely false positive only after the caller checks the secure address and domain, recommends reporting it and contacting the institution, and openly says there is no perfect technical sign that removes the need for personal diligence.
