The internet has revolutionized the way we connect, but it also comes with risks. Internet scams and phishing attacks are on the rise, targeting individuals and businesses alike. Here’s how you can protect yourself from online fraud.
What is Phishing?
Phishing is a deceptive attack where scammers trick users into providing sensitive information like passwords, bank details, or personal data through fake emails, websites, or messages.
How Phishing Works:
- A user receives a fake email or SMS pretending to be from a trusted organization.
- The message includes a link to a fraudulent website.
- The website looks legitimate and asks for login credentials or payment information.
- Once entered, the scammer steals the details and misuses them.
Common Internet Scams to Watch Out For
Fake Emails & Messages – Emails posing as banks, tech companies, or even friends asking for personal details.
Malicious Links & Attachments – Clicking on these can install malware on your device.
Fake Job Offers & Lottery Scams – If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
Online Shopping Fraud – Unverified e-commerce sites that never deliver your order.
How to Protect Yourself
Verify Links & Email Addresses – Check for spelling errors or unusual URLs before clicking.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – This adds an extra layer of security to your accounts.
Use Strong, Unique Passwords – Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
Be Wary of Urgent Requests – Scammers create a sense of urgency to trick you into acting fast.
