    How do you avoid being a victim of PHISHING? (select all that apply)
    

1. 
   Links or attachments in emails, tweets, posts and online advertising are often the way cyber criminals compromise your computer.  If you are not sure, delete it or verify the sender via out-of-band communication (use the phone, another email address, or if you are in the same facility, walk down the hallway and talk to the person). 
   
2. 
   Pay attention to the URL (address) of a link or website.  The URL may use a variation in spelling or different domain (.com instead of .net).  Be suspicious of URLs hosted by another country (e.g. .ru is Russia, .br is Brazil, and .cn is China).
   
3. 
    Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls, visits or email messages asking about our employees or other internal information. Verify an individual's identification directly with the company they claim to represent.  Never send sensitive information over the internet before checking a website's legitimacy and security. 
   

20. 
    If you believe you might have revealed sensitive information about AtlantiCare or compromised your account or computer, what actions should you take?

2. 
   If you believe your financial accounts or credit cards have been compromised, contact the financial institutions immediately and close any accounts or change any cards that may have been compromised.  Watch for unexplained charges to your accounts. 
   
3. 
   Immediately contact the AtlantiCare Customer Support Center at 3-7070
