What is phishing?
Phishing is one of the more common cybercrimes. It’s when fraudsters send emails, texts or other kinds of messages that coerce you to click on a link.
They’re “phishing” for information – get it? If you click on the link, it’ll either install malware onto your computer or link you to what looks like a legitimate trusted website. Both are an effort to obtain your username, passwords, banking and account information and/or other personal information like your Social Insurance Number/Social Security Number, date of birth and an email address.
