National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) reminds us all to Secure Our World. Don’t Take the Bait!
Phishing occurs when criminals try to get us to open harmful links, emails or attachments that could request our personal information or infect our devices. Phishing messages or “bait” usually come in the form of an email, text, direct message on social media or phone call. These messages are often designed to look like they come from a trusted person or organization, to get us to respond.
If you suspect phishing, resist the temptation to click on links or attachments that seem too good to be true and may be trying to access your personal information.
Instead, report the phish to protect yourself and others. Typically, you’ll find options to report near the person’s email address or username. You can also report via the “report spam” button in the toolbar or settings.
