CZ: „A few security tips on preventing phishing attacks.

- Never give your password to a "Helpdesk Agent". The real support agents will never need it.
- Don’t click on links you receive in emails. Login to your account only by typing in the URL or through a bookmark. Triple check it’s not a phishing site before entering any password.
- Do NOT use the same password on multiple sites. Use a password manager so that you have a uniquie and strong password for each site. Password managers will also not match on a phishing site domain.
- Use a hardware 2FA like Yubikey. These will prevent most phishing attacks.“
