Phishing: Don’t Take the Bait

Cybersecurity Awareness: Stop Phishing Scams Before They Hook You

Phishing attacks are one of the most common ways cybercriminals steal personal and business information. These fake emails and messages can look real — until it's too late.

Why It Matters

Hackers use phishing to trick you into sharing passwords, credit card numbers, or clicking harmful links. A single click can open the door to identity theft or ransomware.

How to Spot and Avoid Phishing Attempts

• Check the sender's email address. Fake ones often look similar to real ones.
• Don't click links or download attachments from unknown or unexpected messages.
• Look for red flags such as urgency, poor grammar, or 'act now' messages.
• Go directly to the source. If you're unsure, contact the company using its verified website.
