  • Phishing Websites



    Next we will take a look at some Phishing Websites. These are websites that look legitimate but are phony websites that are trying to steal your account credentials.

    Phishing websites can include fake bank and financial sites, social media sites as well as other sites.

    Here are some hints to spot a phishing website:

    Check the Web address. Just because the address looks OK, don't assume you're on a legitimate site. Look in your browser's URL bar for these signs that you may be on a phishing site:

    - Incorrect company name. Often the web address of a phishing site looks correct but actually contains a common misspelling of the company name or a character or symbol before or after the company name. Look for tricks such as substituting the number "1" for the letter "l" in a Web address (for example, www.paypa1.com instead of www.paypal.com).

    - "http://" at the start of the address on sign-in pages. A legitimate sign-in page address starts with "https://" ― the letter "s" must be included. So check the website address on all sign-in pages.

    Be leery of pop-ups. Be careful if you're sent to a website that immediately displays a pop-up window asking you to enter your username and password. Phishing scams may direct you to a legitimate website and then use a pop-up to gain your account information.

    Give a fake password. If you not sure if a site is authentic, don't use your real password to sign in. If you enter a fake password and appear to be signed in, you're likely on a phishing site. Do not enter any more information; close your browser. Keep in mind, though, that some phishing sites automatically display an error message regardless of the password you enter. So, just because your fake password is rejected, don't assume the site is legitimate.

    Let's see if you can spot the Phishing Websites
