Stafford: Staffordshire smart alert - What is "Phishing"?




Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details and passwords. This information is then used to access important accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss.

Clicking unknown links puts your information at risk- don't let cyber-criminals get your information.
