Be cautious of unexpected phone calls or text messages asking for personal or financial information. Scammers often use vishing (voice phishing) and smishing (SMS phishing) to impersonate trusted organizations and create a sense of urgency to trick you into sharing sensitive data or clicking malicious links. Always verify requests through official contact channels and never provide information or click links from unknown or suspicious sources.

Be curious, not hasty when you're online. Always pause and double-check before clicking on links or sharing information. Scammers rely on quick reactions to catch you off guard, so take a moment to think before you act. If something feels suspicious or too good to be true, it probably is. Staying alert and verifying first helps keep your data and devices safe.

Public Wi-Fi is incredibly convenient, letting you stay connected while you're out and about, whether you're in a café or at the airport.

Be mindful of what’s visible in your screenshots—they might unintentionally capture sensitive information. Details like email addresses, internal systems, or personal data can be useful to cybercriminals. Share screenshots only through secure channels and trusted individuals. When possible, edit or blur out sensitive parts before saving or sending.

Always keep your One-Time Password (OTP) private and never share it with anyone, even if they claim to be from a trusted organization. Only enter OTPs on official websites or apps that you initiated, and avoid clicking on suspicious links that ask for them. For added security, use an authenticator app instead of SMS-based OTPs, as they are less likely to be stolen or accessed by someone else through message tricks or SIM swap attacks.
