⚜️ Lots of failed login attempts?
It’s common to see failed login attempts from various locations around the globe. It’s due to constant cyberattacks targeting all online accounts. This doesn’t necessarily mean you’re at immediate risk, especially if these attempts are unsuccessful. Instead of closing your account, secure it with a strong, unique password. Add two-factor authentication for even more safety.
