October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Great time to ensure you're taking the proper steps to keep your personal information safe!

Tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of a scam:

  • Be Suspicious of Emails: If you are unsure who an email is from, even if the details appear accurate, do not respond or click on any links or attachments. It is best to reach out to the person or company at a phone number or email that you know to be correct to ensure you aren’t becoming a victim of a phishing scam.
  • Select a Strong Password: When it comes to security and choosing passwords, it’s best to mix them up and to not reuse them. Make them easy for you to remember and complicated for anyone else to guess. Think about using a passphrase instead of a password. For example: “I love chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles!”
  • Use Multi-Factor Authentication: Whenever you have the option, elect to use multi-factor authentication. This authentication can require both a password and a randomly generated code, etc. that makes it that much harder for cybercriminals to crack. You should never share these codes with anyone over the phone.
  • Stay Safe on Social Media: Don’t overshare on social media. Cybercriminals can learn where you live, where you go to work or school, the places you hang out, when you’re going on vacation, and events you’re attending to help them access your personal/secure information.
  • Keep Devices Up to Date: Any device that connects to the Internet is vulnerable. Make sure you are updating your device’s security software, web browsers, and operating systems.
  • Be Aware of Apps: Delete apps you don’t use and review app permissions regularly. When you’re browsing on your mobile device, make sure it isn’t running suspicious apps or using permissions you didn’t realize you approved. Be sure to enable automatic app updates in your device settings, so your software runs smoothly and you stay protected.
  • Limit Use of Public Wi-Fi: Public Wi-Fi is just that—public—and it isn’t safe or secure. Limit what you do on public Wi-Fi, and avoid logging in to key accounts like email and financial services. Using a virtual private network (VPN) or personal/mobile hotspot is an alternative option.

Our goal is to keep your account(s) and information safe and secure. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your account(s), or are unsure about a phone call, email, text, or letter you received, please contact Customer Service at 800.355.0641. For hours of operation, please visit our contact page. For additional tips and resources, visit your local Independent Bank branch or the National Cyber Security Alliance.
