9/10

💡 STAY ALERT - Social engineering attacks are getting sophisticated. Be skeptical of urgent requests, verification promises, or threats about account suspension—especially in DMs. 8/10

🎣 RECOGNIZE PHISHING - Scammers often impersonate Bluesky staff. Our accounts have blue verification checkmarks—if an account looks like Bluesky but lacks the checkmark, it's not official. When in doubt, don't engage. 7/10

🚨 MODERATION SCAM WARNING - DMs about account violations or moderation issues are scams. We don't handle moderation via DMs/external sites and would NEVER ask for your password, payment, or credit card details regarding moderation decisions. 6/10

⚠️ VERIFICATION SCAM WARNING - We will NEVER DM you about account verification. Messages from "Bluesky staff" or services offering to get your account verified through DMs are scams. Report and block immediately. 5/10

🛡️ ENABLE 2FA - Add an extra security layer via Settings > Privacy and Security > Enable 2FA. While Bluesky 2FA helps protect your account, make sure your email also has 2FA enabled for maximum protection. 3/10

✅ USE STRONG PASSWORDS - Create unique, complex passwords for Bluesky. Never reuse passwords from other sites. Consider using a password manager to generate and store secure passwords safely. 2/10
