Phishing is one of the most common ways cybercriminals attack. Don’t reply or click on any links in unsolicited or suspicious emails or texts. See section below on how to spot phishing tactics. View the tips section below to learn how to spot phishing tactics.
Create a different password for each of your online accounts. Don’t use birthdays, anniversaries, pet’s or children’s names, or common phrases like “password” or 123456. Instead, use complex phrases that are at least 8 characters long. Your passwords should include upper and lowercase letters and special characters (numbers and symbols).
Enabling multifactor authentication is the best way to prevent fraudsters from pretending to be you. This multi-step account login process requires users to enter more information than just a password. It may require sending a code to your phone via text, answering a personal question, or even scanning your fingerprint.
Update your computer, tablet and phone regularly, as well as any antivirus and firewall software. Use strong privacy settings on your devices to avoid popups and unsafe websites.
