Phishing emails and texts
Phishing is a way cybercriminals trick you into giving them personal information. They do this by sending fake emails or text messages that look like they come from a person or organization you trust. These scams could include a link to a fake login page or attachment. If you fall for it, you could lose money and access to your accounts, or even have your identity stolen.
