Phishing is a form of electronic fraud – usually done via emails – to acquire sensitive information such as your social security number, credit card details, or account username and password.
To carry out the fraud, the criminals would masquerade themselves as a person or organization that you trust and trick you into sharing the information with them.
The trick involves using fake websites, bogus call centers, and installing malware that can steal sensitive information from your computer.
Once compromised, your details would be used for many crimes, including credit card purchases, employment scams, or withdrawing money from your bank.
To trick you into sharing your personal information, criminals can resort to using fake websites that look similar to the ones you use regularly.
Using various tricks, the fake website would coerce you into re-submitting your personal information to the website. Unfortunately, if you fall into the trap, your personal information will get shared with the criminals running the site.
Some criminals resort to using fake pop-up ads as well. Clicking the ad would lead you to their phishing website, which would offer discounts and prizes upon sharing your personal information.
The best safeguard against phishing websites is to check for the lock icon in the address bar. In addition, never share sensitive information on websites without SSL or “https”.
You can report a phishing email to (The anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) by emailing them. APWG works with US-CERT to protect people from phishing scams. You can also report the email to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Other agencies you can contact include econsumer.gov for international scams, the social security administrator’s Inspector General, and Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) for IRS imposters.
In general, to keep your email account safe, you should use your email provider’s inbuilt ‘report phishing’ features to report suspicious emails. The email provider would analyze the email, and ensure that such email doesn’t come to your inbox again.
Similarly, if you’re using a corporate email account, you must also inform your IT security department. Do NOT forward the email. Some corporate emails allow users to report emails as phishing via their inbox directly as well. Check with your IT for more details.
