What is phishing? Accordion Open

Phishing is the process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an email or other electronic communication.

The purpose of a phishing attack is to trick you into providing personally identifiable information such as your username and password, bank account information, social security number, or credit card information. In most cases, phishing scams are after something of monetary value or they are trying to commandeer your account.

If you respond to a phishing scam with your personal information, this could result in identity theft, whereby someone else may be able to apply for and get credit in your name, empty your bank account, change the direct deposit account for your paycheck, or use your account to send spam and more phishing attacks to others.

What should I do if I receive a phishing scam? Accordion Closed

If you receive a phishing scam, don’t respond to it, click on links, or open attached files. Instead, report the phishing scam.
