Tips to Help You Stay Secure Online
Unfortunately, some of the biggest risks to your personal data are low-tech: think scammers who’ll call or email you — posing as recruiters and employment agents to get access to your personal information, including bank and/or financial institution information.
Being secure online, in your job search and beyond, starts with being smart. If you don’t already, make these three simple steps a habit!
- If you don’t trust it, don’t click on it. Phishing scammers often send emails that include links and documents that contain malware or technology that can steal sensitive information, including online sign-in credentials and passwords. Go with your gut, and if you don’t trust it, don’t click on it. And if you’re unsure about an email you’ve received, contact us.
- If someone you don’t know calls, emails, or texts you to ask for personal information, such as your bank account or full Social Security number, don’t give it to them. Some scammers fake caller ID numbers. If you have even the slightest doubt, contact the organization through official channels and investigate. For anything Everforth related, feel free to contact us.
- Create complicated, unique, difficult-to-crack passwords with a minimum of eight characters (many cybersecurity firms recommend at least 15 or even 20 characters). Never reuse a password and update passwords regularly. Resist the temptation to store your passwords in your browser.
