If you receive an unusual email from ”Enbridge” or another company asking you to login to your account to edit or confirm your payment information, DO NOT login or hackers can get your password.
With your password, hackers can steal your credit card information and use your identity by printing your bill or statement as proof of address.
If your business account is hacked, hackers can have access to all your clients’ data.
Hackers can hold your personal and business information for ransom.
Do not pay the ransom since hackers will most likely not return your data. Call the police and/or a security expert.
People often use the same password for other accounts so hackers will try your password with your email, online banking, online shopping, and social media accounts.
If you accidently login to an Internet scam, login to the correct company as soon as possible to change your password.
Use a different password for each account to avoid compromising other accounts if one of them is hacked.
Save all your passwords in a “password vault” or in Google Chrome.
Use 2-step verification for your accounts since hackers will not be able to login even with your password unless they also have your phone.
