These videos cover phishing, multi-factor authentication, and your role in protecting yourself and the community from cybercriminals.

Everyone can be their own internet bodyguard and stay safe online. But it doesn't stop there. Look after your loved ones, friends and colleagues to help them stay safe, too. Remember to protect all your devices connected to the internet: laptops, phones, tablets, home assistants, TVs, even your car by running software updates and using long, unique passwords for each device. Use the suggested unique, strong passwords offered on your device. Protect yourself and others from being impacted by following just a few simple steps: watch out for phishing, enable MFA on all your accounts where possible, and keep software up to date.

Phishers impersonate reputable institutions and businesses to collect your personal and financial information, or to infect your machine with malicious software or viruses. Phishing occurs in many forms, including a malicious link sent to your email or phone, or a call from someone trying to trick you into giving them personal information and access to your accounts.

By clicking on a malicious link or providing a phisher with personal info over the phone, you can inadvertently give someone access to your personal or financial data. Your data includes, but is not limited to, your mailing address, location, contact details, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, passwords to bank or social media accounts, and more. Phishing can lead to the loss of money or the ability for someone to assume your identity.

Depending on the type of phishing, you may open an attachment containing a virus that downloads to your device. A malicious link may also direct you to a fake webpage that looks identical to the legitimate site. As you enter your username and password, this information goes directly to the phisher instead of to the legitimate business, who can then access your accounts using the credentials you provided. Phishers who reach out via phone will try to convince you to provide them with private information, such as financial or personal data.

Don't click suspicious links. When in doubt, hover over the sender URL and look for inconsistencies, like spelling errors or strange websites. Don't pay invoices for services you did not receive. Go directly to the site to pay your bill, without clicking on the link received. Watch out for emails that contain urgent and/or emotional demands. Don't answer phone calls if you don't recognize the number. If you are on a phone call that you suspect is malicious, hang up the phone and call directly instead.

If you receive an email, text, or phone call claiming to be a security or fraud alert on one of your accounts, don't immediately respond to the text or email by using a link or phone number they provide. Instead, navigate to the company's website, and connect with them directly to determine if the alert is legitimate. Be wary of emails, calls, or texts claiming to be from a government entity: hang up and call the government agency directly when in doubt. United States government entities typically initiate contact through physical mail, first.

You should delete phishing emails and hang up on phishing phone calls. Don't respond to texts: just delete them. You can also report phishing emails on most email platforms which helps to block future phishing attempts from your inbox. You can report suspicious texts to most phone providers by forwarding them to 7726.

MFA requires you to provide two or more different ways of proving that you're really you before allowing access into your devices/accounts. This typically includes something you know (e.g., a password or PIN), something you have (e.g., a mobile device or a debit card), or something you are, like biometric authentication (e.g., facial recognition or fingerprint login).

MFA adds another layer of protection to your accounts, making it more difficult for someone to gain unauthorized access to your personal and financial information. With MFA enabled, even if someone has your password, it will be more difficult for them to login to your account without having access to the second mechanism you use to verify your identity (e.g., fingerprint, phone, etc.). This helps protect your identity and money from scammers.

Turning on MFA differs by service, but can usually be located within services' security settings. Instructions vary by account type and you generally have to set up MFA on each of the online platforms you access (social media, email, bank, etc.). It is recommended that you enable MFA where possible on all accounts that offer it.

Phishers can use texts that look like MFA requests to attempt to gain access to your accounts. Do not respond to links or use codes you did not request; just delete them. Do not share your MFA code with anyone, this can lead to your account being compromised. If you receive a code you did not request, this can mean that someone has your password and is attempting to log in to one of your accounts, but your MFA is stopping them. When this occurs, it is recommended that you change your password as it may have been compromised, weakening your account security.
