Tips: Confront A Phishing Attack

  • Jan 09, 2008
SpamStopsHere offers tips on how to proceed when confronted with a suspected phishing attack.

1. If an e-mail asks you to log-in to your bank, PayPal, eBay or other personal account, assume it is a phishing scam.

2. Never enter banking information, social security numbers or other sensitive information into any web site that resulted from clicking a link in an e-mail.

3. Never enter your computer user name and password into any e-mail that requests it, not even if it claims to be from your IT manager or other co- worker. It is easy for a spammer to forge the sender's name.

4. If you unsure as to the legitimacy of a particular e-mail, open an Internet browser and manually type in the URL of the institution in question, e.g. "www.chase.com". Do not use the URL in the e-mail as a reference, as it may be a forgery.
