What you can do to avoid phishing attacks
The good news is there are things you can do to steer clear of phishing attacks and phishing sites:
Be careful about responding to emails that ask you for sensitive information.
Go to the site yourself, rather than clicking on links in suspicious emails.
If you're on a site that's asking you to enter sensitive information, check for signs of anything suspicious.
Be wary of the "fabulous offers" and "fantastic prizes" that you'll sometimes come across on the web.
Use a browser that has a phishing filter. The latest versions of most browsers include phishing filters that can help you spot potential phishing attacks.
