What is something you should always do whenever you come across a phishing attack?

I have had all kinds of things to try to attack my computer. Just about every virus/trojan/malware/spyware you can think of. None have ever made it in. Neither has a phishing attack. The main thing you have to remember is the internet is a dangerous place. Some will say it's not. Be careful of those people. They will get you into trouble. The best way to keep from having a phishing attack is to use common sense. Anything that asks you for to much info can be a phishing attack. You have to know for sure what or who your dealing with. Stay away from places that ask you for simple things like telephone # SS # CC #. NEVER use a site you don't know. Get web of trust, Norton Safe Web, McAfee site adviser. These can help protect you from phishing.



What causes phishing attacks is ignorance. Sorry, Nothing personal, Just the truth. Anytime you are asked for info for something fishy,leave the website. Learn to look before you leap. In other words you see that great gun you would like to add to your collection. You check out the site. Looked for blog post, checked with the BBB. You checked web of trust and others. Everything seems OK, Go for it. You need to buy a anti virus product. You see Anti virus personal and think you want to try it out. You check it out the same way as above. You find out it's a rogue that steals personal info. What i am trying to tell you is be smart to start with and you will never have to worry about a phishing attack.What is something you should always do whenever you come across a phishing attack?
If you haven't put any information on the phishing page, just leave the page.



If you have submitted your info to the phishing page, then:

- if it's your e-mail %26amp; password, change your password

- if it's something that has something to do with bank accounts (including credit cards), notify your bank
