Protect your personal data: Avoid sharing intimate images or sensitive personal information with someone you only know online. Be careful with calls or messages urging you to take certain online actions, such as providing personal data, subscribing to services, or opening new accounts.
Identify red flags: Be cautious of urgent requests for money, cryptocurrency, or gift cards, as well as sudden “declarations of love” from people you have not met in person. Always verify the source of the information, the message received, and the addresses of the websites you visit before taking any action.
