Whats the best defense against phishing scams?
Phishing is an Internet scam where attackers try to trick consumers into divulging sensitive personal information. Usually, this involves sending messages with fraudulent e-mail and Web sites that look like they are being issued by legitimate companies (for example, order confirmations, requests for account and personal information updates, and password requests). We consider these fraudulent e-mails to be spam. If you fall prey to a phishing scam, you are vulnerable to identity fraud and potential financial losses through fraudulent transactions. The best defense against phishing is to stay on top of your anti-spam protection and to be wary of any e-mail messages that look suspicious.
