Danger of Social Engineering
“Phishing” is a tech industry term for a kind of cybercrime where people try to fool other people into sending them money or revealing personal information online. The name comes from the idea of fishing: scammers send a message that acts as bait, hoping to “hook” someone.

- The telltale signs of phishing: too good to be true, a sense of urgency, fake familiarity.
- Slow down and take the time to read before you click.
Remember, phishers use information that is publicly available about you to make you think you know them, or to make them seem more credible to you.
Use caution- look closely at the sender’s address. Don’t download any attachments if the email seems “phishy”, and do not click on links. Attachments and links can lead to malware infections.
The good news is that you have the power to throw these phish back! Let’s take a minute to talk about what you can do to avoid phishing. First, just be cautious. Remember the old warning about not talking to strangers? It goes double on the internet, since anyone can pretend to be anyone else and an email from an exciting new friend could actually be a trick. Ask your potential phisher to provide proof or explain their amazing offer in detail, and you’ll trip up an attacker really fast. Second, remember not to share sensitive information through emails. Details like your passwords, credit card numbers and Social Security Number are things that no legitimate company would be asking you for in an email.
Always Look For these Things!
Communicate Safely
There are more than four billion people on the internet today, and many of them use social media to communicate. But while social media can be fun and a great way to chat with friends, it can be risky as well.
What To DO
You can take a few simple precautions to keep yourself and your friends and family safe on social media. Here’s how. First, always use the strongest privacy settings you can. Check the Settings section of your social media profile and make sure what you are posting can only be seen by your friends. Second, think about what you post before you post it. It is easy for people to misunderstand a joke or a fun meme, especially with billions of people out there who might see it. It’s easy to avoid this, though. Think of your social media as your clothes: there are some things you wouldn’t wear in public because people would laugh or think it was not a good choice.
Share Responsibly
When people share personal information about themselves, they may become targets for scammers and identity thieves.
Beware of Scammers
Scammers and criminals may try to steal people’s information and money when they shop online as well.
