What is Phishing Attack?
A phishing attack involves malicious efforts to deceive individuals into divulging sensitive information like usernames, passwords, or financial details. Attackers typically impersonate trusted entities through deceptive emails, texts, or websites designed to appear legitimate. These messages often create urgency or anxiety to prompt immediate action, such as clicking on malicious links or downloading harmful attachments. Phishing attacks aim to steal personal information for identity theft, financial fraud, or unauthorized access.
Types of Phishing Attacks
Phishing attacks manifest in various forms, each aiming to deceive individuals and organizations through deceptive methods. Common types include:
- Email Phishing: Fraudulent emails impersonate legitimate entities to trick recipients into divulging sensitive information or clicking on malicious links.
- Spear Phishing: Targeted emails customized for specific individuals or organizations, often utilizing personal details to appear genuine.
- Vishing: Phishing conducted through voice calls, where attackers pose as trusted entities to extract sensitive information over the phone.
- Smishing: Phishing via SMS or text messages, deceiving recipients into clicking on harmful links or providing personal information.
- Pharming: Redirecting users to fraudulent websites by manipulating DNS settings or exploiting web browser vulnerabilities.
- Clone Phishing: Manipulating legitimate emails by creating exact copies with modified links or attachments to steal information.
Phishing Email
A phishing email is a deceptive message sent by cybercriminals pretending to be trustworthy sources like banks, government agencies, or well-known companies. Their goal is to deceive people into sharing personal info, clicking on dangerous links, or downloading harmful files. These emails often use urgency, fear, or curiosity to make you act quickly. They can look very convincing, with logos and wording that seem real.
Spear Phishing Attack
Spear phishing is a more personalized type of cyber attack. In a spear phishing attack, the cybercriminals do their homework by gathering information about specific individuals or organizations. They then use this information to create emails or messages that seem genuine and trustworthy. These messages often include familiar names, email addresses, or other details to trick people into sharing sensitive information, clicking on harmful links, or downloading malicious files. The goal is to exploit trust to bypass normal security defenses.
How to Prevent Phishing Attacks
Preventing phishing attacks involves several key strategies:
- Stay Informed: Learn to recognize common signs of phishing, like suspicious links or requests for personal information.
- Verify Emails: Double-check the sender's email address and contact them directly if you're unsure about a request.
- Be Cautious with Links: Avoid clicking on links in emails from unknown sources or that seem unusual.
- Use Security Tools: Install reliable antivirus software and email filters to detect and block phishing attempts.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Add an extra layer of security to your accounts with 2FA.
- Keep Software Updated: Regularly update your devices and software to protect against vulnerabilities.
- Report Suspicious Activity: Report phishing emails to your IT team and change passwords if you've interacted with a suspicious email.

Good quality productI have been a Trend Micro customer since 2013. In that time, I have never been attacked by any malicious software [nor] infected with harm-causing software. I have been warned a number of times that particular websites were potentially dangerous and should be avoided. I have never had any cause to question what the Trend Micro software was doing, as it went about its business of protecting me. The four other systems that are protected by my licensed version of the software have never had their computers compromised.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if you are phished?
You might be a victim of phishing if you notice the following signs:
- Unexpected Requests: You receive unexpected emails, text messages, or calls asking for personal information, passwords, or payment details.
- Urgency or Fear: Messages create a sense of urgency, fear of consequences (like account closure), or promises of rewards to prompt immediate action.
- Suspicious Links: Emails contain links that seem odd or lead to unfamiliar websites. Hover over links (without clicking) to check their destination.
- Spelling and Grammar Mistakes: Phishing emails often contain spelling or grammatical errors that legitimate organizations typically avoid.
- Unusual Attachments: Be cautious of unexpected attachments, especially from unknown senders, as they could contain malware.

- Requests for Sensitive Information: Be wary of requests for passwords, Social Security numbers, credit card details, or other personal information.
