1. 1. Never trust alarming messages – scammers take advantage of the shock value that a worrisome message can bring. Stay calm, process the situation, and react appropriately.
   2. Always keep a backup of your data – ransomware attacks can hold your data hostage, but having a cloud backup on hand provides quick recovery.
   3. Use common sense – if something about a message seems off, it probably is! Always start a new conversation with the contact if the message feels “phishy.”
