Cybercriminals are always trying to steal your information and trying to take your credit card number, social security number, and anything else to take money or to steal your identity. That’s when they “phish” for your information. Phishing is when somebody sends you an e-mail claiming that they are somebody else. They try to entice you through pictures or music and even make it sound like an advertisement. Once you click on it, it asks for your personal information, such as credit card information or social security numbers. Phishers use the fake website to gather information about you. Phishing is a serious matter and in order to prevent it, you must download software to protect yourself. Most new computers have anti-phishing software already installed, but for the older computers, you need to download security software such as Symantec or McAfee, which is available for free through our school.
