What is Phishing? |
|
Answer» Some pop-up windows display advertisements without collecting data or infecting your computer, but some pop-up windows are designed to target you with customised adverts. It is possible for adware to direct you to malicious websites and infected pages via advert links, putting you at risk of computer viruses. A phishing email is sent to trick the victim into giving up sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and logins. This type of cybercrime is common, and everyone should be aware of it. It is accomplished through email. Malware can also be installed on a victim's machine in a phishing attack. |
