Social networks and online predators

How to recognize phishing?

Phishing messages often look very convincing and may be like real messages from banks, social networks or online stores. Here are a few signs that can help you recognize a phishing message:

1. Unusual Sender: Check the sender's email address. Often, phishing sheets come from addressing addresses, but have small differences.
2. Urgent: Phishing messages often contain urgent warnings, such as closing an account or threat of loss of access to the service.
3. Suspicious Links: Check the link in the message by moving on them. Often they lead to fake sites.

Protection against phishing and fraud

It is important to be careful to protect against phishing and use some simple rules:

1. Do not open suspicious messages: if you receive a suspicious letter, do not open it and do not click on links or attached files.
2. Use two-factor authentication: This will make it much more difficult for attackers, even if they get hold of your data.
3. Update your software: Regular updates to your operating system and anti-virus software will help protect you from new types of threats.
