Avoiding Phishing Scams

Phishing scams are attempts to deceive individuals into providing personal information, such as passwords or credit card numbers, by pretending to be a trustworthy entity. These scams often come in the form of emails or messages that appear legitimate. To avoid falling victim to phishing scams, individuals should be cautious about clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources, verify the authenticity of requests for information, and use security software to detect and block phishing attempts.
