Hey Tumblr, your security is super important to us. In light of a recent surge in scams, we want to make sure you have all the tools and knowledge to keep your account safe:

Verify the source: If someone claiming to be from Tumblr Support reaches out, always check the sender's email address. Official Tumblr communication will come from tumblr.com or tumblr.zendesk.com domains, and Tumblr will never contact you via another platform.

Don’t click suspicious links: Check the destination of a URL before clicking, and look for anything that doesn't seem right, such as a misspelled website name. 

Recognize phishing: Phishing messages or emails often try to create a sense of urgency ("Your account will be suspended if you don't click here now!"). They might also contain grammatical errors or poor formatting. 

Never share your password: Tumblr staff will never ask you for your password. If anyone asks for your password, it's a scam.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of security. Even if someone gets your password, they can't access your account without the second verification step. You can enable 2FA in your account settings.
