What's up folks, this episode is the second in a series on Cybersecurity for Content Creators.

A lot of phishing emails now show up as fake brand deals or collab offers. They might look legit, but one click and you could be giving away your login credentials or downloading malware.

Watch out for:

Sketchy email domains (like "[email protected]").

Files or links asking you to “log in to view details”.

Messages that seem rushed or too good to be true.

If something feels off, trust your gut.

Look the brand up on LinkedIn, Instagram, Crunchbase, or wherever you go for reliable information based on your niche. Double-check the sender. Or reach out to other creators and ask if they’ve gotten the same message.

Stay safe, and keep creating.

This episode is the first in a series on cybersecurity and cyber hygiene specifically for Content Creators.
