What is Phishing?
Phishing is a type of scam where criminals create fake websites, emails or messages that appear to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank or e-commerce site, to trick people into giving away their personal information, such as passwords or credit card numbers. They use this information to steal money, commit identity theft or carry out other fraudulent activities.
How to Handle It

- Enable multi factor authentication to prevent access from attacker.
- If you entered any financial information, check your bank and credit card statements to ensure no fraudulent activity has occurred.
