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
If you have already accessed such phishing websites, take the following steps:
- If you entered any personal information, change all passwords and alert your bank and credit card companies.
- 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.
- Install anti-virus software and keep it up-to-date to prevent future phishing attempts.

Criminals can use your personal information to open new bank accounts, apply for loans or credit cards, and even file tax returns in your name. Phishing attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and difficult to detect, so it is important to be cautious and vigilant when providing personal information online.
