- 🔒 Be cautious of phishing attempts. Never click on suspicious links or provide your login credentials in response to unsolicited emails or messages, even if they appear to be from the school system.
- 🔒 Log out of your EBR digital accounts and shared devices, especially when using public computers, to prevent unauthorized access to your personal or professional data.
- 🔒 Keep your web browser and operating system updated to ensure you have the latest security patches, protecting against known vulnerabilities when accessing online services.
