Online User Protection

At MCPS, we take the safety of your personal information and MCPS online identity seriously.  Accordingly, we continue to improve our systems and processes to help mitigate these instances, but the best systems can’t solve this problem alone.  We need your help in preventing these types of situations and continuing to educate and raise your awareness is the most effective way we can prevent this from happening.

  • Do not click a link in an email unless you are completely certain that it is safe to do so  
  • Do not reveal personal or financial information in an email 
  • Always access MCPS applications and websites by visiting the website directly or by clicking the shortcuts within a trusted MCPS website  
  • Ignore attachments that you were not expecting, especially if you don’t know the sender 
  • Never give out personal details by email or fill-in forms that pop up when you open an email as these will often be phishing attempts 
  • If you haven’t given your address to a business that emails you, do not open or interact with the message 
  • If you get a notice from a financial institution stating that you need to update your details or change your password, do not follow the instructions
