Phishing risks and protective steps for businesses and users
The piece explains phishing as a fraud where criminals imitate legitimate web sites to steal financial data. It warns that businesses can be harmed when criminals exploit a company site and suggests steps like updated security software, firewalls, spam filtering, and data security firms to prevent breaches and protect computers and servers.
Educate staff on phishing and safe online practices
The FTC warns that staff training is vital to prevent data breaches and charitable fraud. Employees should not click bank or card links in emails, verify sites by URL, use padlock symbols, and avoid opening unexpected attachments. Regular reminders about scams and safe donation practices reduce risk.
