Lock It Up
Never leave your devices unattended. If you need to leave
your computer, phone or tablet for any length of time —
no matter how short — lock it up so no one can use it while
you’re gone. If you keep sensitive information on a flash
drive or external hard drive, make sure to lock it up as well.

Practice Safe Clicking
Always be careful when clicking on attachments or links in email.
If it’s unexpected or suspicious for any reason, don’t click on it.
Double check the URL of the website that the link takes you to: bad
actors will often take advantage of spelling mistakes to direct you
to a harmful domain.
