Be mindful of the information you share on social media platforms. Cybercriminals often use personal details gathered from your profiles to target you and even your family members.

Stay vigilant against phishing attempts by verifying the legitimacy of unexpected links in emails or messages, as these scams aim to exploit trust and compromise your online security. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from a trusted company, even if the caller ID seems legitimate, it’s best to end the call and independently contact the company using a trusted number to verify the authenticity of the call.

Your SSN is a precious piece of information. Only disclose it when absolutely necessary and to trusted entities, and never carry your Social Security card in your wallet.

If you receive unsolicited calls requesting sensitive information such as bank account details, SSNs, birthdates, or any other personal data, hang up immediately. Legitimate organizations won’t ask for such information without a valid reason.

Enabling MFA on your accounts is crucial in securing your digital presence, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access and safeguarding your sensitive information from potential security threats.

Pay close attention to your billing cycles. If you notice that bills or financial statements are delayed, contact the sender to verify the situation.

Regularly review your credit card and bank account statements. Compare receipts with the information on your statements to detect any unauthorized transactions promptly.

Dispose of sensitive documents such as receipts, credit offers, account statements, and expired credit cards by shredding them. This helps prevent identity theft, especially from people rummaging through trash.
