Human Error: Your team could be your biggest asset or biggest vulnerability. 95% of cybersecurity breaches are due to human error. Human error is unintentional actions by employees and users.

  1. Don’t send or enter personal information into any form that is emailed or texted to you. Personal information includes, but is not limited to SSN, Account Number, PW (any non-public information).
  2. You may receive a phone call where the individual claims to be with a financial institution, government agency, insurance company, etc, and asks you to verify personal information. A legitimate agency will never call and ask for this information by phone. Never share personal information by phone.
  3. Never share your passwords or personal codes with anyone. This can provide them access to your online accounts allowing them to infiltrate your personal finances.
