You may have seen posts floating around on social media warning people about fake bank emails and ATO notices.
These are all examples of phishing. According to Get Cyber Safe, approximately 80,000 fall for a phishing scam every day. Typically, phishing emails have a link to a website, but beware, these are fake. By entering your financial information onto these sites, hackers gain immediate access to your bank account. They can steal your money without you even realising! |
Websites linked in phishing emails usually ask you for your personal information. This includes your password.
Now, I'm sure we're all guilty of the same thing - using the same password for more than one account. When you give a hacker your password, you're giving them access to many more of the accounts you have made on the web. They will be able to access things like your private documents, photos, and any other information you have put online! |
Believe it or not! - phishing can also help hackers find out where you are and what you are doing on your phone at any time they wish.
Email-based phishing campaigns can sometimes contain malware. Malware is really evil software designed to harm your computer, and can sometimes cause irreversible damage. These programs can hijack all your important information, and can give them complete control over your device. At the same time, hackers will be able to see your location at any time. Losing your online account information is one thing - but what about having your home broken into in real life? |
