SIM swapping is when a scammer tricks your phone carrier into moving your number to their SIM. Then they receive your texts and calls.
Two-step verification adds a second check after your password. Even if someone steals your password, they still can't get in.
Fake links look almost real but lead to scam sites. A quick check before clicking saves a lot of trouble.
