Stay Secure This Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

October is here, and while we love the spooky season, there’s one scare we want to help you avoid—cybersecurity threats. Wire fraudsters are more than just a seasonal fright, and unfortunately, their tricks are no treat for anyone in the real estate world. With October marking National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’re bringing you some crucial tips to stay protected from phishing and other cyber threats.

4 Essential Tips to Keep Your Email Safe:

Pause Before You Click:
Always take a moment to re-read messages, especially if they ask for sensitive information or payments. Scammers are getting craftier, so be on the lookout for odd domain names or suspicious email addresses.

Avoid Unsolicited Links:
Before clicking any link, hover over it to see the URL. If something doesn’t look right, don’t click! It’s an easy way to prevent malicious websites from tricking you.

Report Suspicious Emails:
Received a strange email? Report it to your IT department or service provider. Protecting yourself also means protecting the company from future attacks.

Update Your Passwords Regularly:
Changing passwords might seem tedious, but it’s an essential step to protect your accounts from unauthorized access.

Remember, staying safe online is a team effort. If something feels off, trust your instincts and contact us to verify any suspicious messages. We’re here to help you stay secure.

Have a safe and spooky October!
