Password Protection and Safety:
- Do not use your network username as your password.
- Do not choose passwords based upon details that may not be as confidential as you’d expect, such as your birth date, your Social Security or phone number, or names of family members.
- Don’t ever leave a sticky note on your computer or monitor with your password(s) for any accounts or logins.
- When you walk away from your computer, you should ALWAYS lock your screen or sign out.
- Don't share your password with people you don’t know
What to do if you’re not sure of an email:
- Don’t click on any link or attachment if you feel it could be unsafe
- Share with your supervisor or IT department about the safety of the email
- If the email is coming from someone in your company and they’re asking for money or info regarding your account, contact them by using Microsoft Teams or by cell phone or another platform other than email to make sure it’s really them.
Last Minute Quick Tips
-Always check the email address of the person sending you the email. If their name is John Smith and you know their email is jsmith@honorhealthnetwork.com but the email says it's from John Smith but the email address reads boardmdxyz@seznam.cz or anything out of the ordinary, this is a spam email.
-If your manager or co-worker asks you to buy gift cards from a local store without any prior discussions, this is most likely a scam and needs to be verified.
-If your co-workers speak a fluent English with usually no spelling mistakes and you suddenly notice a new email with glaring spelling errors, strange tone in language such as being too casual or rude for a usual email, or if you notice strange letters in other languages in the email, this is a clear sign of a spam email.
