Beware of Online Phishing Activities There has been a recent spate of phishing emails and website links sent to colleagues, and purported to be from popular social media services, international bank, or the senior management of a company. These phishing emails or websites are meant to trick user to provide sensitive information like login names, passwords and credit card information. Phishing activities cannot be fully prevented as new malicious sites are created on the Internet constantly. Be watchful for tell-tale signs and do not follow the instructions in the phishing email/website. For example:
1) Emails with suspicious content
2) Check the website’s URL Phishing URL are usually misspelled or doesn’t reflect the actual URL of the website.
3) Be careful of malicious pop-ups Popup is a common method used to infect computer with malicious programs. Popular browsers such as Chrome and Firefox have in-built popup blocker. You are encouraged to switch on that security feature.
