Phishing is a type of cyberattack where criminals use electronic means of communication to obtain the sensitive data of their victims. To achieve this, they send out e-mails that, at first glance, appear to come from a trusted source - such as a delivery service, an online shopping site or even the tax authorities. In this e-mail, the user is asked to provide sensitive information such as their login details or credit card numbers. The attackers will then use this information to their advantage.
For non-experts, phishing attacks are not always easily recognisable. We therefore regularly provide you with all the necessary information on the latest phishing threats lurking in cyberspace.
In general, you may want to keep in mind that you should always be careful where and when you share your personal data.
