Protection against Fraud and Identity Abuse
2. How do I do it?
2.2. Recognize phishing
Phishing is a form of cyber attack in which fraudsters attempt to steal sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers or bank details. This is often done through fake emails that look like they come from a trusted company, such as a bank or delivery service, in order to trick the recipient into clicking on a link and entering their details on a fake website. Do not click on such links! If you just point at such a link with your mouse, in most cases you can see that the link leads to a completely different website.
Smishing: In this form of phishing, a text message is used to trick the victim into clicking on a link or visiting a fake website.
Vishing: This involves contacting the victim by phone and trying to get them to give up their details. The caller often poses as an employee of a bank or other company.
