Do your part to secure your transaction.
The inHere platform works hard to keep your transaction secure. However, we still need your help to keep some threats at bay.
If you are participating in a real estate transaction, whether you are a real estate agent, real estate broker, closing attorney, buyer, or seller, you are a target for phishing and real estate wire fraud. Fraudsters are looking for any possible way to hack into your email account, obtain information about the real estate transaction, and steal your or your client’s information or money.
What is email phishing?
Phishing is an online fraud scheme where fraudsters disguise themselves as companies, charities, government agencies, or any other “trusted” person in efforts to steal your information.
What can I do to help make my email safe?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) serves as an extra barrier between your personal information and malicious hackers. When MFA is enabled on your accounts, fraudsters have a harder time accessing your email account, even if they were able to hijack your password.
Instead of just asking for a username and password, MFA will require additional verification factors such as verifying your email, phone number, or even your voice and fingerprint. These additional verification methods greatly decrease your chance of getting hacked and will give you confidence that your personal accounts are secure.
