What is phishing and how can I protect myself from it?

Phishing is a cyber attack where attackers impersonate legitimate organizations to steal sensitive information. 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 spelling and grammar, generic greetings, urgent requests for personal information, and suspicious links.

Can you give me an example of a phishing email?

Sure! An example might be an email that looks like it's from your bank, asking you to verify your account by clicking a link. The link leads to a fake website.

What should I do if I think I've been phished?

If you suspect you've been phished, change your passwords immediately, report the incident to your bank or the organization involved, and monitor your accounts for any unauthorized activity.
