Phishing For Beginners :

1] The act of sending an Email to a
user falsely claiming to be an
established legitimate enterprise in an
attempt to scam the user into
surrendering private information that
will be used for identity theft.
2] The Email directs the user to visit a
Web site where they are asked to
update personal information, such as
passwords and credit card, social
security, and bank account numbers,
that the legitimate organization already
has. The Web site, however, is Bogus
and set up only to steal the User’s
information.
Phishing scams could be
1] Emails inviting you to join a Social
Group, asking you to Login using your
Username and Password.
2] Email saying that Your Bank Account
is locked and Sign in to Your Account
to Unlock IT.
3] Emails containing some Information
of your Interest and asking you to
Login to Your Account.
4] Any Email carrying a Link to Click and
asking you to Login.
Prevention against Phishing
1] Read all the Email Carefully and
Check if the Sender is Original
2] Watch the Link Carefully before
Clicking
3] Always check the URL in the Browser
before Signing IN to your Account
4] Always Login to Your Accounts after
opening the Trusted Websites, not by
Clicking in any other Website or Email
