2. Your Role in Security
While we are dedicated to maintaining the highest security standards, it is essential that you also take steps to protect yourself and your information. Here are some tips to help you safeguard your personal information:
-
Use Strong Passwords: Create strong, unique passwords for your accounts and change them regularly. Avoid using easily guessable passwords or the same password across multiple accounts.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Whenever possible, enable two-factor authentication for an additional layer of security.

-
Regularly Review Account Activity: Monitor your account activity regularly and report any suspicious transactions or unauthorized access immediately.
3. Recognizing and Reporting Fraud
Fraudsters may attempt to deceive you into revealing sensitive information or sending them money. Here are some common types of fraud to be aware of:
-
Phishing: Phishing scams involve fraudulent emails or websites that appear to be from legitimate sources, asking you to provide personal information. Always verify the sender’s identity and do not click on suspicious links or download attachments.

Impersonation Scams: Fraudsters may impersonate Point Five Ventures or other trusted organizations. Always verify the identity of the person you are speaking with before sharing any information.
