What is Phishing and How Can You Protect Yourself?
Phishing is a type of online scam where attackers attempt to deceive users by creating fake emails or websites to confuse them into performing transactions on these fraudulent sites. Any information entered by users on these fake sites will be captured and recorded for use in identity theft or to gain unauthorized access to the victim's data.
Phishing attacks typically take the form of messages that try to persuade you to do one of the following:
- ๐ Click on a link
- ๐ Open a document
- ๐ Install software on your device
- ๐ Enter your username and password on a website designed to look like a legitimate site.
How to Protect Yourself from Phishing
- 1. Pay attention to URLs or website names: Since fake websites and impersonated emails can look very similar to legitimate ones, be extra cautious and thoroughly check the URL or website name.
- 2. Check for HTTPS: When performing financial transactions online, ensure that the website you are using has "https" in its URL.
- 33. Review suspicious emails carefully before clicking: Avoid clicking on links in suspicious emails, as these links may direct you to fake websites or URLs containing viruses or Trojans designed to capture your personal information.
- 4. Install and update a reliable anti-virus program: Keeping your anti-virus software up to date can help protect your device to some extent.
