A cyberattack is a malicious attempt to gain unauthorized access to a computer system or network, often for the purpose of stealing sensitive information or causing disruption. Cybercriminals use various tactics, such as phishing, malware, and ransomware, to carry out cyberattacks.

How to Recognize a Phishing Scam

Phishing scams often impersonate legitimate organizations, such as the FBI or Internet Crime Complaint Center, to trick victims into revealing their personal information. They typically involve tempting victims to click on a malicious link or provide sensitive information, such as passwords or financial details, through a fake website or email.

Some common warning signs of a phishing scam include:

  • Emails or messages claiming to be from a trusted organization
  • Suspicious links or attachments in the email
  • Requests for sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card numbers
  • Poor grammar or spelling errors in the message
  • How to Protect Yourself from Phishing Attacks

    To protect yourself from phishing attacks, follow these tips:

    • Be cautious of unsolicited emails or messages
    • Avoid clicking on suspicious links or attachments
    • Verify the senders email address before responding
    • Enable two-factor authentication for an additional layer of security
    • Reporting Cybercrime

      If you believe you have been a victim of a cyberattack or phishing scam, you can report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). By reporting cybercrime, you can help authorities track down the perpetrators and prevent future attacks.
