Pump Up Your Password Protection

Your passwords are the first line of defense against cybercrime. Stolen passwords from previous breaches are often sold on the dark web. Therefore, reusing the same passwords across multiple sites or accounts significantly increases the risk of cybercriminals using those passwords to access your accounts.

With your passwords, fraudsters can:

• Transfer funds out of your accounts or make purchases.
• Create a fake identity with your information and use it to open credit cards or apply for loans.
• Phish using your email address or social media accounts to reach your contacts and convince them to share sensitive information.
• Steal your identity and claim your tax refund or government benefits.

It is important to be aware of best practices to pump up your password protection and help keep your money and sensitive data safe.

Your security is our top priority. We will never contact you asking for your financial or personal information or ask a second person to log in to your computer to unlock your access. If you receive a message requesting confidential information that claims to be from us, do not click any links, and
contact us directly.

As a business, it is vital to inform your employees about password protection best practices. Share this information with your team and consider developing fraud prevention programs or procedures. Educating your employees and having clear steps to follow can help safeguard your business against cyber threats.
