Practice Vigilant Email Hygiene

Remember

Always be skeptical of unsolicited emails, especially those urging immediate action, requesting personal information, or containing unexpected attachments/links. Verify sender addresses carefully. When in doubt, do not click or respond; instead, contact the alleged sender through a known, legitimate channel.

Why

Email is a primary channel for phishing scams, malware distribution, and other cyberattacks. Consistent email hygiene—such as scrutinizing senders, avoiding suspicious links, and not downloading unexpected attachments—is critical to protecting your accounts and personal information.
