Understanding the threat that targets millions daily
Phishing is a cyber attack where fraudsters impersonate legitimate organizations to steal sensitive information like passwords, credit cards, and personal data through deceptive emails, texts, or websites.
Over 3.4 billion phishing emails are sent daily. Companies lose an average of $1.6 million per phishing attack. More than 90% of data breaches start with phishing.
Email Phishing: Fake emails mimicking banks or services
Spear Phishing: Targeted attacks on specific individuals
Clone Phishing: Replicas of legitimate websites
Learn to identify suspicious signs before it's too late
Check the domain name carefully. "amaz0n.com" or "goggle.com" instead of the real ones are dead giveaways.

"Your account will be closed in 24 hours" or "Verify immediately" creates panic and makes you act without thinking.
"Dear Customer" instead of your name is a sign. Legitimate companies use your actual name.
Banks never ask for passwords, SSN, or credit cards via email. If they do, it's 100% a scam.
Professional companies proofread. Lots of typos and grammar errors? It's likely phishing.
Unexpected files (.exe, .zip, etc.) can contain malware. Don't download from unknown sources.
Hover over links to see the actual URL. If it doesn't match the text shown, don't click it.
"You won a prize you didn't enter" or "Claim your free money" - these are classic phishing tactics.
Practical steps to stay safe from phishing attacks
Immediate steps to minimize damage
Change the password for the compromised account and any other accounts using similar passwords. Do this from a different device if possible.
If not already enabled, activate two-factor authentication on all accounts, especially email and banking.
Check credit card and bank statements for unauthorized transactions. Consider placing a fraud alert with credit bureaus.
Scan your device with reputable antivirus software to detect and remove any malware installed by phishing links.
Contact your bank, email provider, and any other affected services. They can help secure your account and monitor for unauthorized access.
Report the incident to CERT-In (www.cert-in.org.in), cybercrime.gov.in, your local police, and I4C. Keep documentation of all communications.
