Spot fake messages
Be extra careful when a message creates pressure, fear, or urgency.
Safe internet in plain language.
Many people in our audience feel less confident when digital messages become unclear or urgent. This page explains what to look out for in a simpler way.
Protect passwords
Use strong passwords and never send them by email, chat, or phone.
Check calmly
Open the real website yourself instead of clicking a suspicious link.
Quick checklist
Does the message use strange wording, pressure or threats? Be careful.
Is someone asking for a code, PIN or password? Do not give it.
Not sure? Close the message and find the official site yourself.
Still unsure? Ask a trusted person to look with you.
