How to handle fake delivery and toll texts, "safe account" calls and "wrong number" messages, and where to report them.

02

Passwords & accounts

CISA's basics: 16+ character passwords, a password manager, MFA, and updates.

03

Credit & identity

Free credit freezes (including for kids), weekly credit reports, and what to do if your identity is stolen.

04

Wi-Fi & "what now?"

What "https" does and doesn't mean, when a VPN helps, and who to call if a scam already happened.
