10 ways to prevent phishing scams
- 1.Keep your eyes peeled for
news about new phishing
scams. By finding out about
them as early as possible, you
will be at much lower risk of
getting snared by one
- 2. Hover over links that you are
unsure of before clicking on them.
Do they lead where they are
supposed to lead? A phishing email
may claim to be from a legitimate
company and when you click the
link to the website, it may look
exactly like the real website.
- 3.Most popular Internet
browsers can be customized
with anti-phishing toolbars.
Such toolbars run quick checks
on the sites that you are
visiting and compare them to
lists of known phishing sites.
- 4.Even if you don’t
technically need to,
check in with each of
your online accounts
on a regular basis. Get
into the habit of
changing your
passwords regularly
too.
- 5.Security patches are
released for popular
browsers all the time. They
are released in response to
the security loopholes that
phishers and other hackers
inevitably discover and
exploit.
