Quick Security Tips

Verify Before Clicking

Hover over links to see the real destination. If it looks suspicious or doesn't match the supposed sender, don't click.

Call Using Known Numbers

Never use phone numbers from suspicious emails or texts. Look up the official number independently.

Enable MFA Everywhere

Use multi-factor authentication on all important accounts. Prefer authenticator apps over SMS when possible.

Question Urgency

Scammers create artificial urgency. Legitimate organizations give you time to verify and respond.

Check File Extensions

Be suspicious of .exe, .zip, .js, .vbs files. Enable "show file extensions" in your OS settings.

Look for HTTPS

Legitimate websites use HTTPS (padlock icon). However, phishing sites can too, so this alone isn't enough.

Need Additional Help?

If you believe you've been compromised:

  1. Change your passwords immediately (on a different device if possible)
  2. Enable MFA on all affected accounts
  3. Contact your bank/credit card companies to monitor for fraud
  4. Place a fraud alert with credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, TransUnion
  5. File an identity theft report at IdentityTheft.gov
  6. Consider credit monitoring services
