As promised, here is some information that will help you protect yourself against identity theft. This will be 1 of 4 emails, David Infante Attached is some great information to minimize the risk of having your identity stolen and some protections. FBI recommends InfraGard members take the following steps to protect themselves from malicious cyber-attacks using the exfiltrated information. • Use strong passwords and regularly change passwords to network systems and all business and personal accounts, implementing the shortest acceptable timeframe for password changes. Avoid reusing passwords for multiple accounts. • Ensure mobile carriers place additional security measures on accounts to avoid SIM swapping. • Any credible threatening information should be reported to law enforcement for their awareness to guard against swatting. • Scrub social media accounts for personal details. Any piece of data alone can be innocuous, but tied to other sources, it becomes a full picture of an individual. Online behavior can reveal patterns of life that can lead to physical risks in the real world. • Protect your personal information. If people contacting you have key details from your life—your job title, multiple email addresses, full name, and more that you may have published online somewhere—they can attempt a direct spear-phishing attack on you. Cyber criminals can also use social engineering with these details to try to manipulate you into skipping normal security protocols. • Regularly conduct web searches for your company name to identify results that return multiple websites that may be used in a scam. For example, the actual website “abccompanyllc.com <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fabccompanyllc.com&c=E,1,vMt-eYr1Ez1psi74i-MXM5JmEh3dkhusjcwNBvnLCcZCSXJ_TR9m1D8D0Bl-WjtLgom4x93cHNlS-YnhXmYmf3gC_V5bXOdabjg57uMRUlrmeUs5lri10esva w,,&typo=1&ancr_add=1> ” may be spoofed by fake domains such as “abccompany.biz <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fabccompany.biz&c=E,1,go7HaILMf7CN5lA3F9Gn9dbTZtjKfBJ4Wd5oMsBNQw3eo Xjpwlk_o3iuKy1oHSdKio6oZq3XTvFoc6qFnq32S0OyGXmV77HyQEnuJJrVuZix_GhcTRDQ_a3jirA,&typo=1&ancr_add=1> ”, “abccompany11c.com <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fabccompany11c.com&c=E,1,s 4dmBdMYtWgsuCD9fM8fL_90vsVIUqyHWOj0xU82uNfqq6PpQ-4QA76kz4ZlwZx2Ql6v7prvgCSoa5XG1kYVjROfMM0AJy9Zg0bQJzv58PfryWA4kaeSr7JSWWrL&typo=1&ancr_add=1> ”, or “abcompanyllc.com <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com /url?a=https%3a%2f%2fabcompanyllc.com&c=E,1,6mf8hhL_8DpSFbA1fDiHJyQQddrRXxCEeo_hAfrad4dm4ly8wxtFwGG9wvs96EWaEUrh2ctPv35A0HJ0ioyk9OAo1HLAxMaz93sdurJLwD-U3D2yXsZA9qnZpw,,&typo=1&ancr_add=1> ”. • Notify company personnel of the breach and educate employees about BEC scams, including preventative strategies such as how to identify phishing emails and how to respond to suspected compromises, and look at the FBI resources for the latest trends. • Be wary of hyperlinks. Avoid clicking on hyperlinks in emails and hover over links to verify authenticity. Also ensure that URLs begin with “https.” The “s” indicates encryption is enabled to protect users’ information. • Double your login protection. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure that the only person who has access to your account is you. Use it for email, banking, social media, and any other service that requires logging in. If MFA is an option, enable it by using a trusted mobile device, such as your smartphone, an authenticator app, or a secure token—a small physical device that can hook onto your key ring. • Think before you act. Be wary of communications that implore you to act immediately. Many phishing emails attempt to create a sense of urgency, causing the recipient to fear their account or information is in jeopardy. If you receive a suspicious email that appears to be from someone you know, reach out to that person directly on a separate secure platform. If the email comes from an organization but still looks “phishy,” reach out to them via customer service to verify the communication.
