Here are Dos and Don’ts

we all need to keep in mind:

✅ Do

• Review your privacy settings for all your social media profiles.

• Hover over links before clicking on them. If the URL looks suspicious, don’t click.

• Use multi-factor login whenever possible.

• Use strong passwords that are complex and don’t include names. It is good practice
to use combinations of uppercase, lowercase and special characters and a number.

• Use different passwords for your district and non-district accounts.

• Report anything suspicious! Your IT Security Team is here to help.

❌ Don’t

• Re-use passwords.

• Open attachments or links from senders you don’t know or recognize.

• Assume all emails are legitimate or that fake ones will look fake.

• Be afraid to ask for a second opinion.

• Tell anyone your password–EVER.

• Share your password.

• Believe a phone call from an unknown person or company saying that there is
something wrong with your computer or it is infected.

• Forget to change your password immediately if you think you have been
compromised.

• Hesitate to call the IT Service Desk for assistance with a District computer issue.

Be aware that spammers may try to scare or threaten you; and, the other side of the coin,
do not expect a prince to send you money!
