Phishing is a cyber attack that uses disguised email as a weapon. The goal is to trick the email recipient into believing that the message is something they want or need — a request from their bank, for instance, or a note from someone in their company — and to click a link or download an attachment.
How Phising works ?
The attackers spoof their email address so it looks like it’s coming from someone else, set up fake websites that look like ones the victim trusts, and use foreign character sets to disguise URLs.
How to prevent Phishing ?
- Always check the spelling of the URLs in email links before you click or enter sensitive information
- Watch out for URL redirects, where you’re subtly sent to a different website with identical design
- If you receive an email from a source you know but it seems suspicious, contact that source with a new email, rather than just hitting reply
- Don’t post personal data, like your birthday, vacation plans, or your address or phone number, publicly on social media
