Difference Between Phishing and Pharming?
A phishing email looks legitimate from a trusted company, but it’s trying to trick you into giving away sensitive information. In contrast, spear phishing is a targeted attack where hackers send out malicious emails aimed explicitly at a user or group of people. These emails may contain links or attachments that appear to come from a trusted source. If you click on them, you could infect yourself with malware or handing over valuable information.
Phishing and pharming scams are becoming increasingly common. Report the incident to your local law enforcement agency or Internet service provider if you’ve been targeted. Don’t hesitate to share what happened. Hopefully, this will help others stay safe while surfing the web.
