*** Be cautious of suspicious website links ***

Here are some practical tips for staying safe online:

Check the URL carefully – Look for misspellings, extra characters, or strange domains (like .xyz instead of .com).

Hover over links before clicking – This shows the actual destination without opening it.

Use HTTPS – Secure sites start with https:// and usually have a padlock icon in the address bar.

Avoid shortened links from unknown sources – These can mask malicious destinations.

Verify the source – If you get a link via email or message, confirm it came from a trusted sender.

Keep your system updated – Modern browsers and antivirus programs can block many unsafe sites automatically.

Be wary of urgent prompts – “Click now to avoid account suspension” is often a phishing tactic.
