It's #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth! This month we'll be sharing tips to keep you and your business safe while online. As the first line of defense, always navigate to your account’s login page by typing the web address in your browser, or using a bookmark that you’ve saved–rather than clicking through links in an email. Also, be aware of the following tips to help you identify fake web pages: ✅ Pay attention to the address bar. To be on the safe side, make sure the website starts with https:// before entering any personal information. ✅ Check the domain name. Make sure that the website that you are on is correctly spelled and not mimicking a well-known brand or company. ✅ Watch for poor grammar and spelling.
