Phishing is an increasingly popular way for cybercriminals to steal a user’s personal information. Phishing is accomplished through electronic communication, usually in the form of a fake website that appears to be genuine, and can be difficult for the average person to detect. These nefarious cyber invitations will seem to be coming from a legitimate source to trick users into revealing login information or to install malware on their computers. Hackers do this by requesting sensitive details about bank information and personal identity or they include dangerous attachments in emails.

Cyber security attacks are continuously on the rise as hackers evolve their cyber scams. The best way to avoid a hack is to have a proactive and preventative approach to protecting your data. Familiarizing yourself with common cyber security terms can help you recognize a threat and help guard your information from an attack.
