An email that tricks you to give away personal information

You get what looks like a legit email from a company such as TSB

This email urges you to visit a fake website where you put in your info

That info is then recorded and passed onto the phishers

A successful phishing

campaign gets around a 5% respond rate

A typical Phishing email is this.

Watch out for the following:

Greeting: The phishers do not know your name. so the greeting isn't personal

The Senders Address: is often a variation on a genuine address

Forged Link: The link looks to be genuine but may not link you to the website. Roll your mouse over to check it

Request for personal information: Genuine organisations never do this.
