Preventing Phishing Attacks

How Hackers Attack?

When customer receives an e-mail asking him to visit Bank’s website or provide his/ her personal information such as – Account Number, Card Number, PIN, etc., it signifies the beginning of a Phishing Attack.

The e-mail would usually provide a link to Bank’s website and ask the customer to click the link. It would ask him to provide certain confidential Banking information like his account number, credit card number etc., failing which his account would be de-activated. There would be a sense of urgency and panic in the e-mail. This type of attack is called Phising Attack.

What You Should Do?
