What is phishing?

In more detail, the fraud scheme looks like this:

They are creating a fake website, which in its design does not differ at all from the original! The attackers then register a domain name that is also as close to the original as possible. Now all that remains is to lure the victim to a fake website. The most common method is mass mailing of spam by e-mail. The victim received an email stating that his data was lost in some system and if he did not want to lose everything, he needed to fill out a form by clicking on the link that led to a fake website created by scammers. The subject of the incoming email and the reasons for blocking are always different, depending on the sophistication of the scammers' imagination, they will write anything to lure you to their site.

Let's go a little deeper into the history of phishing: Phishing is a rather outdated type of fraud, the first mentions of it appeared back in the 90s of the last century. But it acquired its impressive size only at the beginning of this century.

Today, phishing victims number in the tens of millions of cases. This problem is so widespread that the authorities have even created a special anti-phishing group that operates in an international format. At first glance, it seems that knowing the scheme of scammers, you can easily counteract them! Is there much each user can do or not do? For example, to monitor your data and not use it anywhere. Read the recommendations of the services you use more carefully. The scientists even decided to conduct some research, the results of which simply stunned them. About 15% of people did not know that banks do not send emails requiring confirmation of the account number or PIN code. Even more than that... Banks do not practice requesting information through the World Wide Web at all. If everything were as simple as it seems, then phishing would gradually, albeit slowly, lose its popularity. Not the other way around.... The anti-phishing organization we mentioned above registers about 400 phishing attacks on large organizations per month. In addition, scammers used to send millions of spam emails on behalf of a bank or an organization, but today, in the age of modern technology, they turn to spyware or virus software for help. So there's a reason to get a good antivirus program. Быстрое и правильное оформление апостиля и легализации экономит время и деньги.
