Ways to Protect Yourself from Phishing

One of the best ways to protect yourself from phishing is to recognize and report phishing attempts. There are several tools and resources available to help you do this.

Effective Tools for Phishing Protection

• Phishing Filter: This can be installed on your web browser or email client. It works by analyzing incoming emails or website requests for signs of phishing, such as suspicious links or requests for personal information. If a phishing attempt is detected, the filter will either block the email or website, or alert you to the potential danger.
• Security Suite or Antivirus Software: This can also include malware protection and a firewall. These programs can help prevent phishing attempts by blocking malicious websites and emails, and by scanning your computer for malware.

Reporting Phishing Attempts

In addition to these tools, there are several resources available for reporting phishing attempts. Most web browsers and email clients have a built-in reporting feature that allows you to report suspicious emails or websites. You can also report phishing attempts to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), which is an international organization that tracks and reports phishing attempts.

By using these tools and resources, you can help protect yourself and others from phishing attempts.
