phishing

Post by jack »

for at least 6 months now I have been getting phishing emails, at first their email address were easy to spot, something xxxxx1958@gmail.com for example, but lately their addresses are normal looking
it's to the point that I am afraid to view any of my mail, and certainly not click on any of it's content :cry:

The email programmes are most secure because you can preview them. But if you are suspicious, never open attachments or click on links.

A sender can be faked. That's just the way it is.
But you can also use the e-mail program to display the pure text to see more information.

P.S.

Simple rules:

- Delete unknown emails and never think about them again.

- A bank will never send you an email (unless you request it).
- Never open a banking page from an e-mail link.

Any access:
- A request to change or check access data will never be sent by e-mail.
- Confirmations of access will only be sent on your request. (Two point authentication)
- If possible, use the two-point authentication methods via mobile phone (SMS or App) for your accesses.
