Privacy was once taken for granted on the web. Someone could work or play games on their home computer without fear. Now, we are concern as major data breaches, phishing scams, and ransomware have hit the headlines hard over the past few years. The COVID-19 pandemic changed our way of life and forced us all online. Therefore, cybersecurity is more essential than ever.
Even at home, there is the potential that someone can get our personal information, or even worse a trusted site can breach your security. Security issues have been discovered everywhere from voice-activated remotes to apps we download every day. Most people are most at-risk from email phishing scams.
What is phishing or email spoofing?
An email account is a hub for links to services and sites. It can also be used by cybercriminals in phishing scams and hacking attacks.
Phishing is the fraudulent attempt to obtain personal identifiable information (PII), which includes names, usernames, passwords, home addresses, date of birth, and credit card details. They try to scam you by disguising themselves as a trusted entity with a fake email.
