Do you know how to protect yourself from Phishing attacks?
Cyber Security Awareness Month with Technical Drive
Think Phishing is Unavoidable? TD Helps You and Your Business Dodge the Bait!
Phishing bait is a crafty technique used by cybercriminals to trick you into giving up sensitive information, like passwords or credit card details.
These scams often come in the form of fake messages that look like they are from legitimate sources, such as your bank or a trusted company.
But don't worry, with a few savvy tips and the right support, you can stay one step ahead!
Top Tips to Shield Yourself!
-
Verify the Sender: Always double-check the sender’s email address or phone number. If something feels off, it probably is. Cybercriminals often use email addresses that look almost identical to legitimate ones, with just a tiny variation.
-
Spot the Red Flags: Be on the lookout for urgent requests, spelling mistakes, or suspicious links. Phishing messages often try to create a sense of panic to make you act quickly without thinking.
-
Avoid Clicking on Unknown Links: Hover over links to see where they lead before your click. If the URL looks fishy or unfamiliar, steer clear. Instead, type the official website address directly into your browser.
-
Use Security Software: Make sure your antivirus and anti-malware software is up to date. This software can help catch and block phishing attempts before they even reach you.
-
Stay Informed: Keep up with the latest phishing tactics and learn how to spot them. Cybercriminals are always producing new tricks, so staying informed is your best defence.
