Phishing attacks are the most common type of digital threat. Hackers use fraudulent emails to trick victims into sharing sensitive information, or visiting a malicious URL.

Smishing is exactly like phishing, but via cell phone texts or calls. Hackers will send an urgent text containing a malicious URL, or phone number linking to an automated voice response system.

Vishing, or voice phishing, is when hackers call you via telephone to trick you into providing information that enables access to your accounts.

Adjust the privacy settings on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram to your comfort level. It's okay to limit how much information you share.

Attackers will use information from your public profile to access your accounts. Avoid sharing information that might help them, like your date of birth, education, interests, mother’s maiden name, etc. Before you post online, or share anything digitally via email or chat, only share information that you'd be comfortable sharing publicly.

Make sure you know who can see your information. Create different groups on your accounts to control who can view the things you share.
