What does the popular term phishing even mean? Well, phishing is when cyber criminals send a luring email trying to collect your personal information. This is often done via a link sent by an unknown person. These links can contain malware, viruses or even giving the sender access to your device. Clicking the links in these emails can put all of your personal information at risk. If you receive an email that looks suspicious in any way it is best to report the email to your provider using the report button and then delete the email all together. Never click on a link or a button contained within an email from someone unknown. See the post on “How to tell if an email is fake” on the EP TekTok blog to know how to check if a message is legitimate. The most important thing about phishing scams is to NEVER fall into the trap or NEVER reply to these emails. Just report them and continue as normal.
