Don't Fall Victim to Phishing: Learn How to Protect Yourself While Online
Phishing attacks attempt to trick you into providing sensitive information or visiting malicious sites.
For example, an attacker may send email seemingly from a reputable credit card company or financial institution that requests account information, often suggesting that there is a problem. When you respond with the requested information, attackers can use it to gain access to your accounts.
Another example is an email that seems to appear legitimate and from the IT staff or senior Pastor or leadership, asking for money, or to click on a link to help a cause.
