Hey! Is everything fine?You look quite upset!!
NO! I just got phished by a fake email!!
I got an email with PDF file as 'Online Courses- Machine Learning at Stokholm University', when I opened it, it executed phishing.
How did that happen???
This is an act of Social Engineering, an act of tricking someone into divulging confidential information, through technology like phishing, smishing, etc.
You should not be downloading files that you don't know, block any such suspicious emails, set your privacy to maximum, keep track of your digital footprint.
I shall be aware next time!
Have you ever experienced something like that?
YES! I once got tricked into smishing!
HOW???What's smishing?
What happened to me was that I got an SMS that my debit card was getting expired and all had to do is provide personal information.
It is an act of Social Engineering, where criminals use messages (SMS) to trick victims into providing personal information.
We should never reply to text messages that ask about our personal information and BLOCK any suspicious Message!
