Understanding Phishing

Phishing is a common cyber threat where attackers impersonate legitimate organizations to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details.

How Phishing Works

Phishing attacks often come in the form of emails that appear to be from trusted sources. These emails typically contain links to fraudulent websites.

Recognizing Phishing Attempts

Look for signs such as poor grammar, generic greetings, and suspicious links. Always verify the sender's email address.

Preventing Phishing Attacks

Educating users about phishing tactics and implementing email filtering can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to these attacks.

What to Do if You Fall for Phishing

If you suspect you've been phished, change your passwords immediately and monitor your accounts for unusual activity.
