What is phishing?
October 16, 2020
Phishing exists in many forms of contact, with the goal of extracting confidential information. This is done via phone, social media, emails, and counterfeit websites. Fraudsters ‘fish’ for information from potential victims by sending emails, sending messages on social media, sending text messages to your cellphone, or calling you claiming some form of urgency. The goal is to gain access to digital or physical property. When you click on a link to a fake website, you are asked to submit your login credentials. When you provide them with your login credentials, the criminals can use these to access your account without you even knowing.
