What is Phishing?

Phishing is a type of cyber attack where scammers send fraudulent emails or messages pretending to be from reputable companies in order to steal sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details.

How Phishing Attacks Work

Phishing attacks often use social engineering tactics to manipulate victims into clicking on malicious links or providing confidential information. These attacks can lead to identity theft, financial loss, and other serious consequences.

Protecting Yourself from Phishing

  • Check the sender's email address for any inconsistencies.
  • Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.
  • Verify the legitimacy of websites before entering sensitive data.
  • Keep your software and security systems up to date.
