                      PHISHING

                      Phishing is the illegal practice of obtaining sensitive information through e-mails. The criminals
                      try to get information like user name, password and credit card details from us through e-mails.
                      People  with malicious  intentions  usually  fake their identity  and pose  as a known contact  or
                      organisation.

                      They send e-mails from legitimate-looking
                      websites  with genuine-looking  offers, rewards
                      or concerns as attachments. If opened, it installs
                      malware in our system or directs us to a website
                      for entering our sensitive information.

                      Following are some tips to avoid phishing:

                          Do not  open e-mails  without  verifying the
                        source.

                          Do not share your personal information via e-mails. It must be shared only via smartphone or
                        a secure website.
