Secure your device.
Never leave your devices unattended. Password protect your phone or tablet and log off or lock your computer every time you step away. #CyberAware

Use a passphrase or complex password
Social media is all about sharing. If your password is info you shared on social media, such as a pet’s name, it's easy for cyber criminals to guess. Make sure to use a unique passphrase or password for every social media account. #CyberAware

Think before you click!
Watch for suspicious activity that asks you to do something right away, offers something that sounds too good to be true, or needs your personal information. Think before you click. When in doubt, do NOT click. #CyberAware

Don’t connect with strangers
You should never use Bluetooth to connect to unknown, untrusted, or suspicious sources and you should never accept files from these devices.

Keep phone/tablet up to date!
Mobile operating system (OS) updates can include anything from a new version, to a patch or fix to strengthen security, remove bugs, or improve functionality.
Always update devices when prompted or turn on automatic updates if available. #CyberAware

Take precautions when texting:
Don't use text to send personal or sensitive information.
Never open attachments from unknown or untrusted sources.
Never click links or call Ph. numbers in suspicious messages, even if they say they’re from your bank or mobile provider. #CyberAware

Think before you text
SMS messages or texts are a convenient way to keep in touch with friends, but they can also make you vulnerable to malware, privacy breaches, and other criminal activities.

Do not follow suspicious links out of curiosity. You may be able to safely back out of a phishing site, but just viewing a page is enough to get infected if it's serving malware. Report instead to OCIO! #NCSAM #CyberAware
