Protect Yourself from Cybercrime

Cybersecurity is more important than ever as online threats continue to rise. Taking a few simple precautions can help protect you and your finances from potential harm.

Here are some key tips to stay safe:

• Keep your devices updated. Regular software updates help protect against malware and security vulnerabilities.
• Be cautious with emails and links. Avoid clicking on links or opening attachments from unknown sources and report any suspicious activity to your financial institution.
• Use strong, unique passwords. Choose passwords that are difficult to guess and enable multi-factor authentication whenever possible for added protection.
• Stay alert when using public Wi-Fi or charging ports. Cybercriminals can use these to access your personal information. These may appear harmless, but cybercriminals use these as a gateway to compromise you.

Staying alert and taking proactive steps to secure your information will greatly reduce your risk of becoming a cybercrime victim.
