Phishing is the primary catalyst for over 90% of cyber attacks.

Often manifesting through deceptive emails, texts, or phone calls, phishing attacks poses a significant threat to digital security. It involves tricking individuals into divulging personal and financial information, which fraudsters exploit for malicious activities and financial fraud. Limiting fraudsters’ opportunity to harvest sensitive data, effective phishing defense is key to maintaining digital safety and integrity.

  • What is a phishing site?

    A phishing site is a deceptive website designed to trick users into disclosing sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, or financial details. Phishing sites often mimic legitimate websites and employ social engineering tactics that exploit trust, leading users to unknowingly provide personal information to scammers.

  • What are common tactics used by phishing sites to trick users?

    Along with phishing sites, scammers commonly use methods such as sending deceptive emails or messages to individuals. One example is a fraudulent text message claiming to be from a reputable delivery service, stating that a package is due with a link to track delivery. When the link is clicked, it directs the receiver to a fake website resembling the legitimate delivery company's site, prompting the input of personal information, such as name, address, or even payment details, under the guise of tracking or confirming a delivery.
