Don’t fall for fake cloud storage alerts!

Scammers are sending emails claiming your cloud storage is full and that your photos or files will be deleted unless you upgrade your storage plan immediately. These messages are designed to create panic, rush you into making a quick decision, and steal your payment information.

Protect yourself: • Don’t click links in unexpected emails. Check your storage directly through your device settings. • Be cautious of urgent messages demanding immediate action. Creating a sense of urgency is a common phishing tactic.

When in doubt, go directly to the official website or app instead of clicking the link.
