Phishing scams usually start with an email, text, or message, which looks legitimate, but may ask you to click on a link, download an attachment, or provide personal information. The goal is to deceive you into giving away valuable information or installing malware on your device.

To defend yourself against these scams:

Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Use MFA whenever possible. This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second form of verification, like a code sent to your phone, making it harder for scammers to access your accounts.

Stay Informed: Learn to recognize common signs of phishing scams, like suspicious links, unexpected attachments, or urgent requests for personal information. Keep yourself regularly updated on the latest tactics scammers use.

Use Email Security Tools: Make sure you have spam filters and email security tools activated to help detect and block suspicious emails before they reach your inbox.

Keep Software Updated: Keep your devices and applications always updated with the latest security patches. Scammers often exploit outdated software to gain access to your information.

Create Strong Passwords: Use unique and strong passwords for different applications, including ours. Consider using a reputable password manager to help securely store and manage them.
