You must have heard of phishing scams. Even if you’re not sure exactly what they are, you’ll know they’re to be avoided.
Simply put, a phishing scam is an email sent under the pretence of being from someone else. Like your email, bank, or Amazon, or another place online where you have an account.
They encourage you to click a link and update your personal information. That might be your password, or it could be your payment details.
However, the link takes you to a page that might look like the real deal… but isn’t. It’s really a front, so that the bad guys can take your details and use your account for their own personal gain.
Or, knowing that some people use the same password across multiple sites (even though they shouldn’t), access multiple accounts of yours with just one password.
