Are You Up to Date on Phishing Threats?

Phishing attacks are becoming more sophisticated—and more frequent. These scams trick individuals into revealing sensitive information like passwords, credit card numbers, or login credentials by pretending to be trusted sources, such as banks, online services, or even coworkers.

Cybercriminals use emails, text messages, social media, and fake websites to lure victims. They may claim there’s an urgent issue with your account, a missed package delivery, or even offer a prize. One click on a malicious link can lead to identity theft or financial loss.

To stay safe:

• Never click suspicious links or download unexpected attachments.
• Verify sender identities—especially if the message seems unusual or urgent.
• Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication wherever possible.
• Keep your devices and software updated to protect against known vulnerabilities.

Staying informed is your first line of defense. Phishing threats evolve constantly, so take time to educate yourself and those around you. A few seconds of caution can save you a world of trouble.
