Do Not Click or Download
Do not click on links or open any attachments (APK files) received from unknown parties.
Don’t Give Your Information to Unsecured Sites
If the URL of the website doesn’t start with “https”, or you cannot see a closed padlock icon next to the URL, do not enter any sensitive information or download files from that site.
Change Your Passwords Regularly
If you’ve got online accounts, you should get into the habit of regularly changing your passwords so that you prevent a fraudster from gaining unlimited access. Adding that extra layer of protection through password rotation can prevent ongoing attacks and lock out potential attackers.
Don’t Be Tempted to Click on Pop-Ups
Pop-Ups are often linked to malware as part of attempted phishing attacks. Most browsers now allow you to download and install free ad-blocker software that will automatically block most of the malicious pop-ups. If one does manage to evade the ad-blocker though, don’t be tempted to click! Occasionally pop-ups will try and deceive you with where the “Close” button is, so always try and look for an “x” in one of the corners.
