Lesson 8: Cybersecurity 101
- Golden Rule: When in Doubt, Do Not Click:
- As a new user, do not click on links in emails or texts. Ask for help if you think the message is real.
- As your technical skills increase, learn about “suspicious emails” and what to look for – however, this is an advanced skill and scams are getting worse every day, even tech-savvy users fall for scams.
If your phone suddenly shows a message that says it’s infected or has a virus:
- Turn off your phone immediately by holding down the power button until the screen goes black.
- Restart your phone after a minute. In most cases, the message will disappear.
- If the message appears again, don’t click on anything. Visit your local phone store (like a T-Mobile store) or your local KeyBank branch for assistance.
- Recognizing Phishing Attempts:
- Only trust messages from people you personally know.
- Be wary of messages that urge immediate action or request personal information.
- Ignore all messages from companies you do not know (including products you did not purchase, lost packages from the post office, contests you have won, notices that your account has been hacked, etc)
- Official Communication Channels:
- KeyBank will contact you via official channels.
- Emails will come from addresses ending with @keybank.com.
- Even if a message or text seems real, do not click on it. Instead, log into your app. If the message is real, it will appear in the app. Visit a branch if you are unsure.
- Contacting KeyBank:
- If unsure, call KeyBank’s official customer service number: 1-800-539-2968.
- Visit a local branch for assistance.
Lesson 9: Performing Basic Online Banking Tasks
- Viewing Your Money in the Bank:
- Log into the KeyBank app.
- Your “account balance” (your money total) should be visible on the home screen.
- Advanced Topics Outside Scope of 101 – See Advanced Digital Literacy – Banking
- Transferring Money Between Accounts:
- “Bill Pay” – although you can pay a bill through the app, it is better to pay bills through the vendor’s site – for example Xcel energy bills can be paid online at Xcel.com
- Depositing Checks via Mobile Deposit – beginners should deposit checks at a local branch
- Send money to a friend or family member with Zelle (through KeyBank)
Lesson 10: Seeking Assistance
