Phishing is a fraudulent method often used to steal user data, such as login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker disguises as a trusted entity, in an attempt to deceive a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text message.
5 Ways to Avoid Phishing Scams
- Do not be lured by rewards to click on email, especially from unknown senders
- Set up multi factor authentication for accessing sensitive information
- Do not use unauthorized Wi-Fi networks for sending confidential information
- Always log out of workstations when not in use
- Do not click on suspicious links or attachments
