The internet isn’t a safe place; hackers want your information at all costs, and will try to trick you into handing it over. You should follow these tips to make sure you keep your information safe from phishers.
You should know that phishers often act like someone you know and trust; they act like your friends, family, a charity, or a company you’re familiar with. With that in mind, you should always make sure you’re really talking to who you think you’re talking to; confirm through another source of communication that the sender is legit before proceeding.
You should never share personal information like passwords with strangers or contacts that come out of the blue; don’t click on links or attachments that seem suspicious, or that come from sources that seem suspicious; never send money or financial information to strange contacts, and make sure you see the web browser lock icon when entering such information online.
