When in doubt, report it out.
Reporting a false alarm costs nothing. Ignoring a real threat can cost everything. 💸

If a request feels urgent, unexpected, or just plain odd — trust that instinct. 🚩
Here’s what to do:
➡️ Verify the requester’s identity through a known contact method
➡️ Don’t act on pressure alone
➡️ Report suspicious activity right away

Before you hit send, hit pause. 🛑
A few seconds of care keeps sensitive info out of the wrong inbox.
➡️ Double-check recipient emails
➡️ Only share on a need-to-know basis
➡️ Review file-sharing permissions first

🛡️📲 Here’s how to keep it locked down:
🔒 Never leave devices unattended
🔒 Use a password/PIN with short auto-lock times
🔒 Only download apps from approved app stores
🔒 Keep software up to date
