What is it?

Phishing is a cyberattack where scammers impersonate trusted entities to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords, financial details, or personal data.

How it can impact you
  • Identity theft: Stolen personal details can be used for fraud or impersonation.
  • Financial fraud: Fake emails or websites trick users into entering payment details.
  • Malware infections: Clicking malicious links can install spyware or ransomware.
  • Credential theft: Hackers can steal login details and access accounts.

Example: A scammer sent fake bank emails, tricking users into entering their credentials, which were then used for unauthorized withdrawals.

What do you need to do to protect yourself?
  1. Avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails or messages.
  2. Always verify the sender's email address before responding.
  3. Check for website security indicators (HTTPS and official domain names).
  4. Never share sensitive information via email, chat, or text.
