Create strong passwords that are randomly generated and contain a string of capital and lowercase letters, special characters, and numbers. Use two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security.

Keep your device updated for enhanced security features. Check the plug-ins and add-ons connected to your email inbox; third-party software can be exploited by hackers or malicious programs.

Be mindful of the “online challenges” you participate in, as these may just be a ploy for hackers to mine your personal information.

Don’t post sensitive personal information online – hackers can use these to create a bogus duplicate account or impersonate you online.

Share a scam that you know and help fight cybercriminals!
