R#3: When in doubt, report it! Phishing can come through email, text, or phone calls. If something seems suspicious, don’t click links or share sensitive information. Use the Report Message button in Outlook or forward the message to [email protected].

R#2: Replace outdated technology. Devices that are no longer supported may not receive important security updates, leaving them more vulnerable to attacks. If your device is at the end of its support life, it may be time for an upgrade.

R #1: Reduce your vulnerabilities. Keep your devices and accounts protected by staying updated, using strong passwords, enabling MFA, and downloading software only from trusted sources.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month Tip #4: Update Your Software Regularly. Update software on all devices, phones, laptops, etc. when an update becomes available (personal and university owned). It's also important to update applications, especially web browsers, on all devices.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month Tip #3: Use Two-Step Authentication. Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will protect you from hackers! BGSU uses Duo Two Factor Authentication as an MFA method. ITS suggests using an MFA method to protect your personal accounts.
