01

Check the sender, not just the name

Look at the actual address. Lookalike domains with a single changed letter are common.

02

Pause on urgency

Messages that demand immediate action, payment or a password deserve a second look.

03

Hover before you click

Preview where a link goes. If you’re unsure, go to the website yourself instead of clicking.

04

Verify money and password requests by phone

Use a number you already know, not one in the message.

05

Make reporting easy and blame-free

People report more when they won’t be embarrassed. Try our cyber challenge as a team exercise.

General information, not a substitute for professional advice about your specific situation.
