What is phishing?

Phishing is the most common threat targeting a large number of victims simultaneously. It is usually executed via e-mail. Criminals register a fake domain and pretend to be a reputable organisation that people trust. There are typically slight differences in the organisation’s name that are noticeable only upon careful reading. Senders rely on our tendency to read quickly without checking the URL behind the links, the sender’s full e-mail address, or the correct spelling of the organisation’s name, lacking adherence to spelling norms and professional tone.

Phishing is an online scam where criminals deceive you to obtain your account details by sending fake messages. Fraudsters use e-mails and texts to trick you into giving them your banking details. They may ask you to click a link, fill out a form, or open attachments containing viruses.
