Here are five tips to reduce your chances of being hooked and reeled in by hackers:
1. Never share personal information (login and passwords, Social Security numbers, payment card information, etc.) over email.
2. Do not download attachments from unknown senders.
3. Always consider context, even for messages from known senders. Does Mike from accounting usually send attachments with no text in the body at 10:30 p.m.?
4. If an executive requests personal information or a money transfer over email, confirm that request in person or via phone.
5. When in doubt, forward on to IT.
