- Click cautiously: Hackers are creating more believable emails and landing pages, enticing you to click and give up credentials. Always hover over the button to see if the URL matches the site it’s claiming to be before you click.
- Take precautions: Web browsers have features (check the preferences) that flag fraudulent sites—use them.
- Protect passwords: Seems obvious, but humans often get password-lazy. Don’t re-use them. Don’t share them. And make them challenging. Passwords are your first line of defense.
Remember, even with security software and processes in place, protecting data has to start with people. Make sure you’re covered.
