- What is phishing?
Phishing is an attempt to steal sensitive data by phone, a text message or an email or via social media or search engines. People with criminal intentions want to get their hands on their victims’ personal data, such as online banking credentials or card details.
Phishing emails often coax the recipient to disclose their online banking credentials via a link or an attachment. Fraudulent text messages (smishing) may also contain a link or an attachment or ask the recipient to call the number included in the message. In fraudulent phone calls (voice phishing or vishing), the caller pretends to be a representative of a bank or an authority and asks for the victim’s online banking credentials or prompts them to make payments.
Phishing attempts will often try to create a sense of urgency. If you are contacted through any channel and requested to provide online banking credentials or card details, pause and think for a moment before providing them. You can always check that the message is legitimate by contacting the claimed sender. Remember to check the contact details from their official website, for instance.
