4 Ways You Can Help Thwart Cyber Thieves

In today’s technology-focused society, we’re connected in wondrous ways, but cyber culprits would love to get inside our systems.

Customers trust that the Exchange will protect their personal and financial information. However,  one wrong, seemingly innocent click can open a trail for hackers to find their way directly to that information for their own criminal use.

Associates at all levels of the Exchange have tremendous responsibility to protect this personal and financial information. Here are four ways to do just that:

• Surf responsibly. Visit only valid business partners and companies. Go directly to those sites rather than clicking an advertisement.
• Be wary. Stop and think before you click on a link. Is this a phish? Is it an urgent request, asking you to click a link or open an attachment?
• Report. Remember to use the “Report Spam” button in Outlook to report suspicious emails to the IT security team.
• Think twice. Before entering your login credentials or personal information, think why you’re doing it. Say “No” unless you’ve verified the site is legit.
