                      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.

                      organisation.

                      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.

                        a secure website.
