Phishing

Phishing is a cyber-attack where attackers attempt to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial details, by posing as trustworthy entities through deceptive emails, messages, or websites.

How to detect phishing?

  • Check the Sender's Email Address: Verify the sender's email address, especially if the email appears unexpected or requests sensitive information;
  • Inspect URLs: Hover over hyperlinks to reveal the actual URL. Be cautious if the link address seems suspicious or differs from what's expected;
  • Look for Generic Greetings: Phishing emails often use generic greetings, lacking personalized information.
