Keep yourself safe from cyber crime this holiday period

  1. Be suspicious of potential disinformation

    Verify information is correct before you share anything on social media.

  2. Don’t click on advertisements

    Only shop from trusted retailer websites. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.

  3. Beware of fake delivery notifications

    If you receive a notification for an unexpected delivery, don’t click the link unless you have confirmed the purchase is real.

  4. Be careful downloading apps

    Only download apps from your device’s certified app store. Confirm the publisher is trusted and if in doubt, don’t install it.

  5. Monitor bank account and credit card activity

    Turn on alerts to notify you of activities such as large purchases or international transactions. Call your bank or credit issuer by using the telephone number on the card if you notice anything suspicious.
