​​​​​​​Stay Safe Online!
​
At CCB Tech Group, your security is our top priority. With an increase in phishing and scam email activity across the digital landscape, we want to help you stay informed and safe. Please remember that awareness is the best defense.
​
What is Spear Phishing?
​
Spear phishing emails are carefully crafted to look legitimate, often mimicking trusted organizations or individuals. Their goal is to trick you into providing sensitive information, such as login credentials or payment details.
​
How to Identify a Scam Email:
-
Sender Email Address: Check if the sender’s address matches the official domain. For example, emails from us will always come from @ccbtg.com.
-
Urgency or Threats: Be wary of emails pressuring you to act quickly, especially those threatening account suspension or asking for immediate payments.
-
Unexpected Links or Attachments: Avoid clicking on unfamiliar links or downloading unexpected files.
-
Grammar and Spelling Errors: Many scam emails contain mistakes that legitimate emails typically avoid.
-
Requests for Sensitive Information: Legitimate organizations, including CCB, will never ask for your password via email.
​
Important to Note: We never send password expiration notifications or requests for login information. If you receive an email claiming otherwise, it’s a red flag.
​
How to Verify an Email’s Legitimacy:
​
-
Check the Email Headers: Look for inconsistencies in the email’s source information.
-
Contact Us Directly: If you’re unsure about an email’s authenticity, reach out to us at support@ccbtg.com
-
Bookmark Official Links: Always use bookmarked links or type the address directly into your browser to access websites.
