Do not click on any suspicious links or attachments in the email you received.

When in doubt, contact the sender to confirm that he or she sent the email to you or not.

Never provide your personal or financial information through an email to anyone.

No service, be it Google, Apple, or Microsoft, ever asks for your password or any other sensitive personal information over an email.

It's always a good idea to regularly update your passwords and security questions.

Enable two-factor authentication on your accounts and always choose a strong and different password for all your accounts. If you are unable to create and remember different passwords for each site, you can use a good password manager.
