Email Safety

In the past several weeks, we have seen many attempts to phish mvdsl.com email passwords. Here’s how you can protect your account and stay ahead of potential threats:

What Hackers Might Do

  • Forward your emails to another account (like Gmail), potentially accessing sensitive info like password reset links.
  • Use your account to send spam or create new spam accounts.

 

How to Protect Yourself

  1. Update your mvdsl.com email password:
    • If you haven’t changed it in years, now’s the time!
    • Avoid reusing passwords across accounts. Consider using a password manager to keep track like 1Password or Bitwarden.
  2. Watch our helpful video for a step-by-step guide on how-to update your password.

Recognizing Phishing Emails

  • Suspicious links or attachments asking you to click on a link to “verify your account,” “clear your cache,” or “update your quota.”
  • Poor grammar or misspelling in domain names. (for example: microsft.com instead of microsoft.com or mvzdsl.coe instead of mvdsl.com)
  • Unfamiliar or unusual sender addresses.

What to Do

  • Don’t click on links asking you to “verify your account” or “update your quota.”
  • Double check the sender’s email address for misspellings or strange domains not associated with MVT.
  • Contact us if you suspect an illegitimate email message from MVT.
