As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our systems and data secure, please take a few minutes to review this week’s cybersecurity reminder. Staying vigilant helps protect not only our organization but also your personal information.
Check the sender’s email address – attackers often use lookalike domains.
Look for spelling mistakes, poor grammar, or urgent requests (e.g., “Act now!” or “Your account will be suspended”).
Be cautious with unexpected attachments or links – even if it looks like it’s from someone you know.
Hover over links before clicking to see the real destination URL.
Avoid downloading software or attachments from unknown sources.
Do not click on links in emails or messages that feel unusual.
Be wary of websites offering free software, cracked apps, or pirated content.
Look for HTTPS in the URL before entering login credentials.
Always verify requests for sensitive information through a secondary channel (e.g., call the person directly).
Use strong, unique passwords and enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) wherever possible.
Keep your devices and applications updated with the latest security patches.
