Phishing is a topic most of us are aware of. I have taken for granted that everyone has read or been told how to keep your online information safe.Then I read some information from Minnesota Security about how to protect yourself from phishing that I thought was pretty impactful and easy to put into practice. 

 

Please take a look at these 5 ways to prevent phishing attacks.

 

1. Slow Down and Stay Suspicious

2. Check That Things are What They Seem

3. Don’t Download Attachments from Unknown Sources

4. Use Security Software

5. Report Suspicious Messages

Friends, the bottom line is when it comes to phishing don’t take the bait!!!
