What steps can I take to protect myself from phishing on Mindhive?

What is phishing?

Phishing is when someone tries to gain access to your online account (such as your Facebook, Google, or Mindhive accounts) by sending you a suspicious message or link that asks for your personal information. If they get into your account, they may use your account to send spam.

How do I avoid getting phished?

• Don't trust messages demanding money, offering gifts or threatening to delete or ban your Mindhive account.
• Emails from Mindhive about your account always come from mindhive.org. You can always visit www.mindhive.org to check for important messages from us.

• If you get a suspicious email or message claiming to be from Mindhive, don't click any links or attachments.

• Don't answer messages asking for your password, social security number, or credit card information.
