October is Cyber Security Awareness Month. Fraudsters are getting better at looking real, so a few habits go a long way:
🔍 Spot it. Check the sender and links before you act, especially on urgent messages.
🔒 Lock it. Use a unique password or passphrase for every account. Turn on multi-factor authentication.
🚩 Report it. Forward suspicious texts to 7726 (SPAM). Report fraud at reportcyberandfraud.canada.ca.
