Here are some tips to be aware of this season in particular.
- Keep your smartphone, computer, and other devices updated. This helps ensure that your device has the latest security patches.
- Only use trusted Wi-Fi connections and be suspicious of any network that does not require a password to connect.
- Take the time to change any outdated or simple passwords. Use strong, unique passwords on all of your accounts.
- Don’t open emails from senders you don’t recognize
- Don’t download email attachments unless you’re expecting the file and you have verified the sender
- Verify the site address/attachment that you are expecting by hovering over the embedded link or attachment
Stop, Look, and Think. Don't be fooled.
