What is Phishing?

Phishing is term used to describe methods used by fraudsters to obtain private access data i.e password or credit card information . In doing so, they abuse electronic communication media, including emails, in order to impersonate a trustworthy person, company or institution. Here I am going to tell u how to prevent phishing. Let's see the points.


Most phishing methods simulate the relaying of technical information through a link in an email. The fake website that is reached by clicking on the link looks deceptively similar to that of the real institution. The online customer is then supposed to enter their access data i.e user code, password, credit card number etc. 

How you can protect 100% yourself from Phishing

3.   Double check the browser addresses of websites- In order to get you to reveal your access data, fraudsters often include a link in phishing-mails that take you to a fake website that looks almost or exactly like the real website. However, the logo on a website or a deceptively similar page layout is not sufficient. Logo and websites can be easily reproduced. The Most effective method to prevent being misled into fake website is to enter the correct address or website in the browser line.
