Protect Yourself and Others. #CyberSecurity Stay vigilant against cyber threats. Phishing involves fraudulent emails, texts, or calls aimed at deceiving victims into visiting malicious websites or divulging personal information. Vishing, or voice phishing, targets individuals over the phone, coaxing them into revealing sensitive data like credit card numbers or passwords, often using advanced voice simulation or previously obtained personal details. SMiShing, or SMS phishing, exploits mobile devices through deceptive text messages, seeking to manipulate recipients into disclosing private information such as bank details or login credentials. This can lead to identity theft, financial fraud, or other malicious activities. As technology advances, distinguishing between genuine and fraudulent emails becomes increasingly challenging. The UK's cybersecurity agency warns of the rising sophistication of scams, including messages prompting users to reset passwords. If you're unsure about a call, text, or email, refrain from taking action.
