Junk the Spam
Junk the Spam
We're all sick of the spam that junks up our inboxes and spam folders by now. That's the cost of advancement they say. But what do they know? For the security-conscious, instead of just relying on your spam filter to pick off the junk mail (which also seems to pick up a number of important mails for good measure), here's a guide that will help you spot a fake email before you respond to it. Phishing, as we know, is that nasty practice of sending out perfectly authentic-looking emails that spoof bank accounts, PayPal accounts, eBay accounts and such in a bid to steal your personal information. Take a look at some of their tactics and what you can do to avoid being scammed.
