Identity Theft
Phishing & Identity Theft
Phishing attacks trick you into revealing passwords, banking details, or personal information. This data is then used for fraud or sold to other criminals.
How Phishing Works
Criminals send emails, texts, or messages that appear to come from trusted sources - your bank, PayPal, Amazon, or government agencies. These messages create urgency, claiming your account is locked or suspicious activity was detected.
Clicking links leads to convincing fake websites where you enter login details, which criminals immediately capture and use to access your real accounts.
