About Phishing

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text message.

Common signs of phishing emails:

  • Urgent or threatening language
  • Requests for sensitive information
  • Suspicious attachments or links
  • Mismatched or suspicious sender email addresses
  • Poor spelling and grammar

Always be cautious when receiving unexpected emails, especially those asking you to take immediate action or provide sensitive information.
