What are phishing attacks and how can I protect myself?

Phishing attacks are fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information by disguising as a trustworthy entity. To protect yourself, always verify the sender's email address, avoid clicking on suspicious links, and use two-factor authentication.

What are some common signs of a phishing email?

Common signs include poor grammar, generic greetings, urgent requests for personal information, and suspicious links or attachments.

Can you give me an example of a phishing email?

Sure! A typical phishing email might claim to be from your bank, stating that your account has been compromised and asking you to click a link to verify your identity.

What should I do if I think I've been targeted by a phishing attack?

If you suspect a phishing attack, do not click any links or provide information. Report the email to your IT department or the relevant authorities and change your passwords immediately.
