Protecting yourself from email phishing scam attempts

Phishing emails are fraudulent messages designed to trick you into revealing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or credit card details. Attackers often disguise themselves as trusted organizations to gain access to your accounts.

How Phishing Works

• Criminals send emails that look like they come from legitimate sources (e.g., ruachost.com).
• These emails often urge you to take immediate action, such as updating your billing information or logging in.
• Links in phishing emails lead to fake websites that capture your credentials.

How to Tell if an Email Is Legitimate

• Do not click login links in emails. Instead, go directly to https://dashboard.ruachost.com.
• Never submit confidential information in a form embedded within an email.
• Hover over links before clicking to verify the destination URL matches the expected site.
• Ruachost.com will never ask for your password or credit card details via email.
• Always check which email address the message was sent to — phishing emails often target random addresses.

Keeping Your Login Information Secure

• Ensure your browser verifies the SSL certificate for https://ruachost.com.
• If credentials are not verified, do not enter your login details.
• Use strong, unique passwords and enable two‑factor authentication where possible.

What to Do If You’re Unsure

• Contact Ruachost Support directly.
• Do not reply to suspicious emails.
