Changing passwords is generally advised, ideally every few months, especially for important accounts like social media, email, and banking. Changing passwords on a regular basis reduces the possibility of unwanted access brought on by prospective data breaches or password compromises.
If I receive a suspicious email or message in my inbox, here are some steps I can take to handle it:
Initial Evaluation: Begin by scrutinizing the sender’s details, subject line, and message content for any anomalies or signs of suspicion.
Confirm Sender Identity: Verify the authenticity of the sender’s email address to ensure it hasn’t been spoofed or compromised.
Content Examination: Analyze the email’s language, tone, and any requests for urgency or sensitive information, as well as attachments, for potential risks.
Check Links and Attachments: Exercise caution when interacting with links or downloading attachments, verifying their legitimacy by hovering over links and inspecting file types.
Utilize Security Measures: Make use of email security features and anti-phishing tools to automatically detect and mitigate potential threats.
Prompt Reporting: Report any suspicious emails to the appropriate IT or security personnel promptly to prevent further exposure to risk.
