Beware of Phishing Attacks Impersonating Government Agencies and Organizations. Attackers use various methods, including phishing websites, fraudulent emails, and ransom emails, to deceive the public and steal their personal information or money.
To guard against these threats, we should:

 Be cautious with unfamiliar links and URLs.
  Do not click on unfamiliar links or URLs, especially in suspicious emails or messages.
  Do not enter personal information, account credentials, or financial details on suspicious websites, and do not make any payments.
 Identify government agency websites.
  Government agency websites typically start with "https" and end with ".gov.tw".
  Please verify the correctness of the website address to avoid being deceived.
 Handle suspicious emails and messages appropriately.
  Exercise caution when dealing with suspicious emails or messages, especially those involving money or personal information.
 Seek assistance.
  You can call the 165 Anti-Scam Consultation Hotline for assistance or contact relevant authorities for verification.

Please stay vigilant and avoid trusting messages from unknown sources. Take necessary measures to protect your personal information and financial security.
