What are the differences between vishing and phishing?

Vishing is voice phishing, where attackers use phone calls to trick victims. Phishing typically involves emails.

Can you give me examples of each?

Sure! An example of vishing is a scammer calling you pretending to be from your bank. Phishing might involve an email that looks like it's from a legitimate company asking for your login details.

How can I protect myself from these scams?

To protect yourself, never share personal information over the phone or email unless you're sure of the source. Always verify the identity of the caller.

Are there any signs that indicate a vishing attempt?

Yes, signs include urgent requests for personal information, threats of account suspension, or calls from unknown numbers.
