PHISHING

• Phishing is the art of sending a request to
  people in the hopes that they will supply you
  with personal information about themselves.
• Phishing has been around for many years. It was
  previously done by calling people or sending
  paper letters - but has been perfected with
  the creation of Internet and e-mail.

10

• WHY ?
• If you supply personal information to someone,
  they can open accounts and use your credit to buy
  items for themselves using your name.
• HOW ?
• E-mail is the newest method of phishing e-mails
  are sent to thousands of people at once. These
  e-mails convince the reader to click on a link
  that sends them to a fake website. The website
  prompts the user for personal information and
  sends it back to the sender who uses it for their
  own gain.

• You might see a phishing scam
• In e-mail messages, even if they appear to be
  from a coworker or someone you know.
• On your social networking Web site. (Facebook,
  MySpace)
• On a fake Web site that accepts donations for
  charity.
• On Web sites that spoof your familiar sites using
  slightly different Web addresses, hoping you
  won't notice.
• In your instant message program.
• On your cell phone or other mobile device.
• By receiving a phone call at home.

13

• How to protect yourself
• Don't use the links in an email to get to a web
  page. EVER !!
• Instead, log onto the website directly by typing
  in the Web address in your browser.
• Avoid filling out forms in email messages that
  ask for personal financial information. You
  should only communicate information such as
  credit card numbers or account information via a
  secure website or the telephone.
• Always ensure that you're using a secure website
  when submitting credit card or other sensitive
  information via your Web browser. To make sure
  you're on a secure Web server, check the
  beginning of the Web address in your browser's
  address bar - it should be https// rather
  than just http//.
