Why Phishing Works and How to Avoid it

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Phishing attacks are by far the most popular form of cybercrime in the 21st century. There have been news reports on the lists of organizations whose customers fell victim to phishing attacks.

Phishing scams increase in quality and quantity every day. Whereas spam tends to be merely an annoying distraction, phishing frequently leads to real financial losses.

If the threat is so real, why don’t people learn to avoid it?


Why Phishing Works?

There are many ways to take advantage of a user’s trust

There are numerous reasons why phishing works so well, starting with the ability of the scammers to play mind tricks on victims, in order to lure them into trouble.

Phishers can use tempting offers, like complimentary giveaways, in order to bait users. This is a very efficient method, as many people would likely take advantage of a free offer.

A scammer can also use the buzz around a certain topic or event – take, for example, the large-scale scam that occurred after the FIFA World Cup. In the summer of 2014, a phishing site imitating the official FIFA web page, prompted users to sign a petition in defense of Luis Albert Suarez, the star forward on the Uruguay national team. In order to sign the petition, a user had to fill out the online form, which required one’s name, country, mobile phone number, and email.
