My 3rd article on phishing – I thought of doing a 3rd one on this matter because I just came by another interesting case of phishing.
While the previous cases involve FEAR, this new one preys on the GREED of people.
It’s been a while since I wrote the article on phishing, I thought I’d write another one as my father had recently received this E-mail which is pretty deceptive and it was a good thing he asked me about the authenticity of the E-mail. I had a quick look at it and I’m surprised at what these are capable of.
Phishing – a deceptive Internet practice to acquire sensitive details as usernames, passwords and credit card details by pretending to trustworthy entity via electronic communication such as E-mail.
Phishing is not new, it’s been around for ages BUT unfortunately there are many who know not how to detect phishing.
Today, I’ll be providing a few pointers on how you could easily identify PHISHING. While my examples will be using E-mail phishing, the logic applies to other form of PHISHING as well, even those like from SMS.
