- Verify the legitimacy of emails and websites by double-checking URLs, domain names, and digital certificates.
- Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unknown or untrusted sources.
- Keep your devices and software updated with the latest security patches.
- Use strong, unique passwords for your online accounts and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible.
