Secure Our World with MFA — Turn-on Multifactor Authentication (MFA) to Protect Online Accounts
Multifactor authentication (MFA) enhances security by verifying our identity when we log into our accounts. This often involves entering a code sent via text message or generated by an authenticator app. By adding this extra layer of protection, MFA helps secure our online presence. Even if someone gains access to our passwords, they won’t be able to bypass the second verification step, preventing unauthorized access.
Enable MFA — Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Simple Steps to Get Started
Navigate to Settings

Receiving a code via text or email
Using an authenticator app that generates a new code every 30 seconds for login

Outsmart Digital Scammers: Three Tips to Avoid Phishing Scams
Phishing scams are deceptive online messages that appear to come from a trusted source. It’s easy to accidentally open an email, attachment, or image that looks safe but is actually a trick to access your personal data or infect your device with malware.
PHISHING TIP — CISA/BLACKSWAN FLYER
1. Spot the Red Flags
Be on the lookout for:
Urgent or emotionally charged language
Requests for personal or financial information
Suspicious or shortened URLs
Email addresses that don’t match the supposed sender
Unexpected attachments
Poor grammar or misspelled words (less common but still possible)
2. Report and Resist
Use the “report spam” option for suspicious messages. If the email looks like it’s from a familiar organization, go directly to the organization’s website to find official contact information and alert them.
3. Delete Without Engaging
Avoid replying to suspicious messages or clicking on any links or attachments, even if it’s an “unsubscribe” link—it could lead to more phishing. Just delete the message. Don’t reply or click on any attachment or link, including any “unsubscribe” link. The unsubscribe button could also carry a link used for phishing. Just delete. If a message looks suspicious, it’s probably phishing. But even if there’s a possibility it could be real, don’t click any link, attachment, or call any number.
Look up another way to contact a company or person directly:
Go to a company’s website to find their contact information
Call the individual at a known number and confirm whether they sent the message
