Find out the most important facts about phishing in web links & emails.

Phishing is a method of accessing valuable information such as credit card numbers, usernames & passwords. Criminals do this through fake emails & websites.

If you are tricked into entering your email username & password, criminals can:

• Access login for other accounts such as business systems & LinkedIn etc.
• Send & read your emails and request information from colleagues and suppliers.

Fraudsters often use well-known brands such as Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, etc. The risk is that you have an established relationship with the brand.
