Thousands of websites are clones of popular login pages used to harvest user names and passwords. The best practice is to never trust anything in an email including buttons and links to web pages. Always open your own tab and double-check your spelling when opening a website then bookmark it. Password managers will also help keep the process of logging in more automated. Criminals impersonate popular services as support or help desk to request password resets or logins via email or robocalls. Beyond staying skeptical of all things unsolicited. always check that you’re communicating with the actual service by hanging up and calling back or closing the windows and opening your bookmark. And now the IRS and videoconferencing services are the new hot targets for these “phishing” campaigns. Call or email us to find out how our CPR Checkup subscription mitigates these problems.
