Tips to Stop Spoofing, Phishing and Social Engineering Attempts

Often cyber attacks are thought of as elaborate, technical feats performed by advanced hackers. In reality, bad actors can have just as much if not more success with simple tactics. For example, phishing and social engineering do not require advanced technical skills; rather they use psychology to deceive a user into giving up valuable information such as passwords or credit card info. Spoofing similarly requires little technical skill to make an email address or phone number look familiar.

With these simple tips, learn ways to keep yourself and others safe from potentially dangerous attacks.
