Phishing Scams: Do not Take the Bait
2025-03-15 by: Gj Pineda
Phishing is a cyberattack where scammers impersonate trusted sources—like banks, employers, or tech companies—to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information. These attacks usually come via email, text, or fake websites designed to steal passwords, credit card numbers, or personal data.
Modern phishing scams are highly convincing, often using urgent language (“Your account is locked!”) to pressure quick action. Some even mimic legitimate login pages or spoof phone numbers.
To stay safe, always double-check URLs, avoid clicking suspicious links, and never share credentials via email or text. When in doubt, contact the organization directly using official channels.
