PHISHING ATTACK

Firstly I clear that this type of theft is not done by hackers it will done only by crackers I mean black hat hacker who are a black spot for hackers …

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data , including login credential and credit card numbers..

How do you know you have been trapped in phishing attack????

  • Locked accounts
  • Unfamiliar transactions
  • Spam email coming from your account

How to protect yourself from phishing attacks???

  • Don’t clock any doubting link which is look like a fraud
  • Install firewall
  • Don’t give your information to an unsecured website.
  • Get free anti-phishing adds on

How it is worked???

If u open an attachment clicks on phishing link in these emails or messages that appear to be from someone you know and trust, then malicious software like spyware, ransomware will be installed on your device , it usually happened behind the scene so the average person can’t detect it..

Phishing attack through email, messages

What should if you have been phished??

  • Change your credential information
  • Change your username and password
  • Disconnect the device
  • Deal with the phishing email
  • Backup files
  • Scan your system for malware
  • Report it(ICO)

Hackers and Crackers are different

Mostly crackers used these activities..
