Phishing is an email scam designed to steal your identity. Hackers are getting more creative to get access to our private data. They know it’s valuable and they are eager to take advantage of it. The most successful phishing emails are typically disguised to look like they come from a known or reputable source. Like for example Apple ID or your bank. 

A phishing email will try to trick you into clicking on a malicious link, or revealing your personal information. You think your anti-virus will protect you or that you will never fall a victim for opening a suspicious email. But phishing tactics are relentless and catches more and more people off guard then you would expect. Don’t be too late, this is how you protect yourself!

HOW TO SPOT AND AVOID PHISING? 

1. Don’t trust email spam filters. Many email providers block emails and users by sending them to the spam folder. But oce in your spam folder there are several clever ways that might break through this protection.

2. Check the email address. You can spot a suspicious email just by looking at the name of the email address. If you see that Johnny Depp or Beyoncé is emailing you – chances are the email might be a click-bait.. 

3. Think twice before opening an email or email attachment. If your curiosity got the better of you and you went ahead and opened the suspicious email, beware that by clicking on any links in the email might infect your device with virus. 

4. Is the email spelled badly? Hackers in a rush to steal things often neglect these things. If there are spelling mistakes in the email, then it’s a good reason to doubt its authenticity. 

5. Who is it sent to? A company that requires your personal details would address the email with your full name. There is a reason to get suspicious if the email has incomplete or odd information.
