To protect against phishing scams and identity theft, always use your official university email and verify the legitimacy of unsolicited emails or attachments. Keep your software, including antivirus and firewalls, updated to guard against evolving cyber threats, and avoid logging into sensitive accounts over public Wi-Fi without protective tools like a VPN. Secure all online accounts with strong, unique passwords, a password manager, and multi-factor authentication for added safety. Regularly back up your data to both cloud and physical storage, and maintain a clean workspace by locking your device and safely disposing of sensitive files.
