Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart.

Phishing and social engineering campaigns are the #1 source of ransomware and other malware¹. Reduce your chances of your falling victim to phishing attacks!

• Update your passwords. Consider using the longest password possible. Be creative and customize your passwords for different websites. Use a password manager to keep track of them.
• Enable two-factor authentication on your accounts where available.

• Limit the information you post on social media. Cybercriminals use public information to know you better, so be sure to keep personal information safe from strangers.
• Keep track of your apps. Make sure your apps are up-to-date and check your app permissions.
• Update your computer and mobile devices.
• Make sure your antivirus is up-to-date and running.
• Stay protected while connected. Only connect to legitimate wireless hotspots. Avoid sensitive activities on public networks and only use sites that begin with “https://” when shopping or banking online.
• If an email looks suspicious, do not respond and do not click on any links or attachments. When available, “Report phishing” to block other suspicious emails.
