Staying informed about potential internet scams is important for business owners, employees, and clients. Phishing continues to be a common internet fraud technique, with 76% of businesses reporting that they have been victims of phishing attempts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What Is Phishing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phishing is a scam that uses fraudulent emails or texts or copycat websites to get you to share valuable personal information like account numbers, Social Security numbers, or your login IDs and passwords.<\/p>\n

Phishing Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scammers spoof the familiar, trusted logos or URLs of established, legitimate companies. Companies both big and small are subject to phishing attacks. For example, scams targeting Apple and Amazon<\/a> customers have been in the news over the last couple of months.<\/p>\n

How to Prevent Phishing Attacks<\/strong><\/p>\n

To protect yourself from phishing attacks, follow these tips.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Install and update your security and anti-virus software.<\/li>\n
    2. Protect your financial information. Virtually no reputable companies will ask you for your credit card or banking information via an email or a text message. Only provide that information directly on their secure website.<\/li>\n
    3. Don\u2019t open attachments from an unknown source.<\/li>\n
    4. Read carefully. Look for misspelled words in the copy or the URL, and be sure that the URL of a U.S. company doesn\u2019t have the extension of another country.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Trust your gut. If something feels off, stop and verify it with the company it appears to have come from.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
