<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIt’s easy to go on autopilot when browsing the web, checking email, and logging in to different accounts. The key to staying safe, especially during the holidays, is to pay attention to what you’re doing. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Double-check sources.<\/strong> If you’re interested in a link or attachment you find in an email or on a social media page, check to see if it’s from a trusted source. Steer clear from clicking on links that seem suspicious. Furthermore, ensure the link is from the company it claims to be by checking the actual sender address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Stop and evaluate your actions.<\/strong> If you have been instructed to login to a specific portal or asked to update your username, password, or profile, make sure you’re dealing with the actual company and not a fake. Find their phone number and call them to see if they’re who you’re dealing with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
