Protecting Your Account and Personal Information

In the online world, protecting your account and personal information is crucial. Phishing scams and identity theft are common threats, but by following these simple steps, you can safeguard yourself effectively.

Stay Alert

1. Watch for Suspicious Emails:

   • Be cautious of emails asking for sensitive information or urgent action. Always check the sender's address for legitimacy before clicking any links or providing details.

2. Verify Requests:

   • If you receive unexpected requests for personal or financial information, double-check with the official company channels through verified contacts to confirm the request's authenticity.

Secure Your Account

1. Use Strong Passwords for Your Email:

   • Create unique and strong passwords for your email tied to your account. Avoid using easily guessable information and consider using a password manager to keep track of your passwords securely.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):

   • Activate 2FA for an added layer of security. This requires a secondary code or confirmation to log in, even if your password is compromised.
