How to protect yourself from phishing attacks?

Phishing attack protection requires steps to be taken by both users and CoinUnited.io. As a user, you should be vigilant and take the following measures to protect yourself from phishing attacks:
 

1. Vigilance is the KEY

Inconspicuous errors like misspelt domain names, odd syntax, unsmooth words, and other typos are common in spoofed messages. Attackers frequently use a feeling of urgency to persuade users to take action.
 

2. Login to CoinUnited.io through the official website: https://coinunited.io/

 
3. Check and verify whether SSL certificate is given for domain name: https://coinunited.io/

 
4. Enable Two-Factor Authentication(2FA) 

Be careful and avoid sharing your Google 2FA 16 digital backup passwords online or with anyone.

 
5. Install Chrome Netcraft Extension or Firefox Netcraft Anti-Phishing Extension.

To prevent security flaws, keep your systems and applications updated. Install and update antivirus software. Never join an untrusted wireless network.
