5 Quick Tips
1. Ensure your passwords have 12+ characters including numbers and other signs. Also never use the same password across sites. Use a password manager with Multi-Factor-Authentication to manage all of your passwords.
2. Never act with urgency. Cybercriminals always say its an urgent matter to send over $. Always make sure to check with family, friends, or professionals before even considering sending anything over the internet.
3. Create a safe/code word with family to ensure safety in case of a Family Impersonation Scam.
4. Don’t trust everything you see or hear. Deepfaking and Voice AI technologies are becoming more and more advanced.
5. Banks, governments agencies, and other companies won’t send you links in emails! It is more likely than not a scammer. WHEN IN DOUBT, DON’T CLICK LINKS - Go straight to the source.
