- Be cautious of phishing emails or messages.
- Always verify the sender and domain before opening an email, e.g., ensure it comes from @kmitl.ac.th or other trusted sources.
- Do not click on links or download attachments from unknown senders. - Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) for add another layer of protection with a second verification step, such as an OTP code sent to your phone. Even if your password is compromised, attackers will not be able to log in without the OTP.
- Avoid untrusted websites and pirated software.
- Do not visit websites without encryption (HTTP) or those that lack credibility.

- Regularly update your operating system and software to patch security vulnerabilities.

By using strong passwords, being cautious of phishing attempts, enabling two-factor authentication, and avoiding unsafe websites or software, you can significantly reduce the risk of account compromise.
