Don’t let hackers compromise your account and steal your information.  Did you know that e-mail is the most dangerous source of IT breaches in almost every organization?  IT security (and your bank account) depends on us!  Follow the 5 tips below to safely read your e-mail:

• Beware of suspicious links and e-mails.  Always check the sender’s e-mail address--not just the name shown!
• Don’t automatically reply to e-mails that appear urgent, especially if it’s to change passwords or buy something.  Double check to verify who is sending it!
• AISD will NEVER ask for your personal information or passwords via e-mail!
• Remember that internet links are based from the last word before “.com”, so google.hacker.com is not from Google, it’s part of Hacker.com!
• Be extremely skeptical of file attachments.
