Top 5 Tips to #BeCybersmart

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! 

Here are 5 tips to #BeCyberSmart 

  • Never share your multi-factor authorization code with anyone. The university will never ask for your password or code. 
  • Strong passwords are safe passwords. Strong passwords are long, unique, and randomly generated.  
  • Recognize and report phishing. Think before you click and hover over suspicious links to see and identify the sender.  
  • Update your software. Hackers don’t sleep, so turn on automatic updates to ensure your computer stays protected year-round.  
  • Report suspicious activity and links to abuse@missouri.edu
