WCSO reminds you to think before you click whether it is a link in an email, text message or button on a website.

...and then what?

This looks like “news you can’t use”. No examples, no “here’s how you could tell”, no specific actions are given. Just “be careful”.

Folks, this becomes a bigger threat if you are logged in with a Single Sign-On to a lot of websites. For instance, hooking in a Facebook or Google ID to seamlessly log into your email or store or bank allows these hijacks to most easily misdirect you. Since you allowed a Facebook login to log you into your store or email provider, you now are likely auto-logged into the other sites you previously approved.

Use a separate login on each site and don't let a password manager upload your credentials automatically, without your intervention being required.

In essence, having a separate login for every site and copying and pasting the ID and password from a password manager, is best.

Couple that with logging out when you are done on a site, and you have taken almost all the concern away.
