Secure Your December: Three Holiday Tech Checks

1. 🎅 Don’t Get Rushed

Phishing emails love to play Grinch by creating false urgency. If a message pressures you to “act now,” pause. Trust your instincts and forward anything suspicious to the Information Security Team at infosec@wfu.edu for verification.

2. 🕯️ Wipe Your Digital Plate Clean

Smishing (phishing via text) is on the rise. Strengthen your mobile defenses by deleting apps you no longer use. Fewer apps mean fewer doors for attackers to sneak through—like tidying up before guests arrive.

3. ❄️ Oops! You Clicked It? Secure Your Account

Accidentally clicked a phishing link? Don’t panic—take action. Google’s personalized Security Checklist offers quick recommendations to safeguard your account. And remember, you can always reset your password at account.wfu.edu if you suspect you’ve been compromised.
