Phishing, Spam, or Malicious Emails

Service Description

Phishing is a type of online scam where criminals impersonate legitimate organizations via email, text message, advertisement or other means in order to steal sensitive information. This is usually done by including a link that will appear to take you to the company’s website to fill in your information – but the website is a clever fake and the information you provide goes straight to the crooks behind the scam.

Malicious emails encourages targets to click a link or "download an attachment" so malware/viruses can be installed on the device.
