Awareness Information and Useful Tips to Protect against Phishing and Spam
Security threats in general are increasing, with internet and email users around the world being affected. In Bahrain many residents complain of the growing number of spam emails they receive on a daily basis and many also have been the victims of phishing attacks with their email accounts being hijacked and used without their knowledge to send spam to the people included in their email address books.
In general people are completely unaware that their email account has been compromised and that they are responsible for spam attacks on their friends’ and families’ email addresses which are listed in their email address books.
Furthermore, the number of people who are conned into providing confidential information to sources that seem legitimate is also on the increase, as those behind phishing scams use ever more convincing methods to persuade people to part with such confidential information as their passwords, bank account details and on many occasions money.
By being aware of what to look out for and by following some simple steps and guidelines, everyone can be spared a great deal of inconvenience.
