Title: How to identify a phishing site?
description: More and more often we come across phishing messages in our mailboxes.
Phishing emails are sent to unsuspecting victims with unrelated messages. Fraudsters most often impersonate: banks, institutions, power plants, gasworks, online stores and others.
The messages are created by cyber criminals to steal money or identity.
What should you pay attention to?
If the name of the address consists of a string of letters and numbers randomly selected, we should not click on such a message.
The subject of the message may also seem suspicious. If we do not take part in competitions and someone writes that we won, there is a huge probability that it is a bluff.
Experts do not recommend clicking on addresses with strange names and unknown domains. Clicking on such a link can cause huge losses to your wallet and computer.
It is also worth paying attention to the extension of the attachment. If the file extension seems strange, do not download such an attachment.
Banks or other institutions do not send .exe attachments.
Exe files are self-executing files. By downloading such a file, you can infect the equipment we use.
Don't trust everything you see online.
