Ever received an email with subject lines having a sense of urgency, such as a limited period deal or free resources, which seems a little fishy and too good to be true? Then you’re not alone.
Phishing attacks are the most common cyber threats today. Such attacks target users with malware emails or files to steal personal information or infect their devices.
In this blog, we’ll understand how phishing attacks work and equip you with PowerPoint templates to implement practices for identifying and mitigating phishing attacks.
What is Phishing?
Imagine a clever fisherman throwing out attractive baits to capture fish.
Phishing attacks work in a similar way. Attackers are the fishermen, attractive offers with malware files are the baits, and users are the fish.
Phishing attack scammers use sources such as email, SMS, calls, or even fake social media accounts to make replicas of trusted brands in order to appear as legitimate sources. The most popular sources they copy include banks, credit card companies, and other popular online services.
The phishing attack messages often create a sense of urgency or fear, or expensive products at very low prices, urging people to click a link or download an attachment. These links or attachments often lead to malicious websites or software stealing your personal information, such as credit card details, passwords, and more.
