Tips To Stay Safe


General Tips

  • Avoid using common words, phrases, or personal information and update regularly.
  • Keep your operating system, browser, anti-virus and other critical software up to date. 
  • Security updates and patches are available for free from major companies.
  • Verify the authenticity of requests from companies or individuals by contacting them directly. 
  • If you are being asked to provide personal information via email, you can independently contact the company directly to verify this request.
