Phishing Attacks

One of the most common and effective scams online today is phishing. This scam involves fraudsters impersonating legitimate organizations via email, text messages, or phone calls to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details.  Typically, the messages you receive from a phishing attack urge immediate action—verifying your account details or confirming a password reset are two common ones. Then, it includes a link to a fake website that closely resembles the real one.  To avoid falling for phishing attacks, always verify the source before clicking on any links or downloading attachments. Double-check the sender's email address for any irregularities, and avoid providing personal information over email or phone.
