About phishing
Phishing is a type of online fraud where attackers pose as legitimate companies or individuals to trick you into providing personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or other sensitive data. These deceptive practices often involve emails that look like they come from trusted sources. Phishing attacks can lead to identity theft, financial loss, and other serious consequences. Understanding how phishing works and recognizing and avoiding it are crucial steps in protecting yourself online.
Here are some best practices to protect yourself against phishing
Email authenticity
Be cautious of emails from free email domains (like gmail, yahoo, etc.). Legitimate companies use professional email addresses from their official domain.
Suspicious links and attachments
Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unsolicited emails. Always verify the source before taking any action.
Examine emails carefully
Check the sender’s address, look for typos or grammatical errors, and compare logos and designs with previous communications from the company to verify authenticity.
Security solutions
Use reliable antivirus software and firewalls to protect your devices from online threats.
We want to emphasize that Nexway never requests your personal information via email or asks you to download files from unsecured sources. If you have any doubts about the authenticity of an email claiming to be from Nexway, please contact us directly.
