Phishing Attack is one of the most common security challenges that both individuals and companies face in keeping their information secure. Whether it&#8217;s getting access to passwords, credit cards, or other sensitive information, hackers are using email, social media, phone calls, and any form of communication they can to steal valuable data. Businesses, of course, are a particularly worthwhile target.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phishing scams have been around practically since the inception of the Internet, and they will not go away any time soon. Fortunately, there are a lot of ways you can identify and avoid your website from phishing threats before they happen. In this article, we&#8217;re going to talk about how phishing attacks work. Then we&#8217;ll discuss three ways to prevent them from your website.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>Types of Phishing Attacks<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain types of phishing scams use more targeted methods to attack certain individuals or organizations.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>Spear Fishing:<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spear phishing email messages won&#8217;t look as random as general phishing attempts. Attackers will often gather information about their targets to fill emails with more authentic context.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some attackers even hijack business email communications and create highly customized messages.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>Clone Phishing:<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attackers can view legitimate, previously delivered email messages, make a nearly identical copy of it\u2014or &#8220;clone&#8221;\u2014and then change an attachment or link to something malicious.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>Whaling:<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whaling specifically targets high-profile and\/or senior executives in an organization. The content of a whaling attempt will often present as a legal communication or other high-level executive business.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>Various phishing attack techniques used by attackers<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Creating a copy of a real web page to trick users into believing it&#8217;s the original site. Usually, this is a ploy to steal those users&#8217; data.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Embedding a link in an email that redirects to an unsecured website that requests sensitive information<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Installing a Trojan via a malicious email attachment or ad will allow the intruder to exploit loopholes and obtain sensitive information<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Spoofing the sender address in an email to appear as a reputable source and request sensitive information<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Attempting to obtain company information over the phone by impersonating a known company vendor or IT department<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><b>Phishing Attack<\/b><b> through Emails<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<h3><b>How can you identify a phishing email?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you receive a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">phishing email<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there&#8217;ll be some signs that distinguish it from a genuine one. They are:<\/span>\r\n<h5><b>Beware of Suspicious Emails and Do not Click Suspicious Links:<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Spelling and grammar mistakes<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Suspicious links and attachments<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A generic greeting<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Requests for you to log into your account (either as confirmation or to stop deactivation)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Be very suspicious of any emails you receive from trusted entities like your bank.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the email contains a link, don&#8217;t click on it.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Deceptive links that mimic legitimate URL addresses are common tools con artists use in phishing scams.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While these addresses may look official, they usually contain inconspicuous differences redirecting you to a fraudulent site.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Instead of clicking on the link, type in the institution&#8217;s web address into the browser to access the website.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h5><b>Know the Common Phishing Language:<\/b><\/h5>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Look out for common phishing language in emails like &#8220;Verify your account.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Legitimate businesses will not email you to ask for your login information or sensitive personal information.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Also, look out for emails that try to convey a sense of urgency.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Warnings that your account has been compromised, for example, are a common way to lure victims. Again, contact the company directly to inquire about such emails rather than using any link or other contact information provided in the email.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Finally, be wary of any email that does not address you directly.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While some phishing scams will use your name in the email, many are sent out as spam messages to thousands at a time.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most legitimate businesses will use your first or last name in all communication.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><b>Website Phishing Attack<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, the attackers will copy a real web page to trick users into believing it&#8217;s the original site. Usually, this is a ploy to steal those users&#8217; data.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the most popular targets for phishing attacks are payment processors. If you have a PayPal account, for example, you&#8217;ve probably received phishing emails at some point that include links to a &#8216;fake&#8217; PayPal:<\/span>\r\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/fake-paypal.png?resize=696%2C467&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"fake paypal phishing link\" width=\"696\" height=\"467\" \/><figcaption><strong>Fake-PayPal<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Deceptive-1024x782.jpg?resize=690%2C527&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Deceptive site ahead phishing message\" width=\"690\" height=\"527\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s not usually hard to spot basic phishing attempts, particularly if you&#8217;re techno-savvy. However, when running a website, you can&#8217;t count on all of your audience members to be just as vigilant. That means it&#8217;s up to you to ensure they don&#8217;t fall prey to phishing attacks that target your site.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>How to Protect Your Website from Phishing Attack<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<h4><b>Think Before You Click:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s fine to click on links when you&#8217;re on trusted sites. However, clicking on links that appear in random emails and instant messages isn&#8217;t such a smart move. Hover over links that you are unsure of before clicking on them. Do they lead where they are supposed to lead? A phishing email may claim to be from a legitimate company, and when you click the link to the website, it may look exactly like the real website.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The email may ask you to fill in the information, but the email may not contain your name. Most phishing emails will start with &#8220;Dear Customer,&#8221; so you should be alert when you encounter these emails. Go directly to the source rather than clicking a potentially dangerous link when in doubt.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>Install an Anti-Phishing Toolbar:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anti-phishing toolbars can customize Popular Internet browsers. Such toolbars run quick checks on the sites you visit and compare them to lists of known phishing sites.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you stumble upon a malicious site, the toolbar will alert you about it. This is just one more layer of protection against phishing scams, and it is completely free.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>Keep Your Browser Up to Date:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Security patches are released for popular browsers all the time. They are released in response to the security loopholes that phishers and other hackers inevitably discover and exploit.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you typically ignore messages about updating your browsers, stop. The minute an update is available, download and install it.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>Be Wary of Pop-Ups:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pop-up windows often masquerade as legitimate components of a website. All too often, though, they are phishing attempts.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many popular browsers allow you to block pop-ups; you can allow them on a case-by-case basis. Don&#8217;t click on the &#8220;cancel&#8221; button; such buttons often lead to phishing sites. Instead, click the small &#8220;x&#8221; in the upper corner of the window.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>Get free anti-phishing add-ons:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, most browsers will enable you to download add-ons that spot the signs of a malicious website or alert you about known phishing sites. They are usually completely free, so there&#8217;s no reason not to have this installed on every device in your organization.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>Use Antivirus Software\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are plenty of reasons to use antivirus software. Special signatures included with antivirus software guard your PC against known technology workarounds and loopholes. Just be sure to keep your software up to date. New definitions are added all the time because new scams are also being dreamed up all the time.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users should use Anti-spyware and firewall settings should be used to prevent phishing attacks, and users should update the programs regularly. Firewall protection prevents access to malicious files by blocking the attacks. Antivirus software scans every file which comes through the Internet to your computer. It helps to prevent damage to your system.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t have to live in fear of phishing scams. By keeping the preceding tips in mind, you should be able to enjoy a worry-free online experience.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>Update Your Passwords Often:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, no one should ever gain access to your login credentials or those of your users. However, if they do, you can solve the problem by changing those credentials.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people don&#8217;t go through the trouble of updating their passwords regularly. Most users follow terrible security practices when it comes to passwords.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that if there&#8217;s a leak of login credentials, the attackers may use them to access various other sites and accounts. For example, if you&#8217;re using WordPress, some plugins enable you to enforce regular password updates. On top of that, you also should get into the habit of changing your passwords from time to time. If you struggle to remember new credentials, you can also consider using a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">password manager<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>Add an SSL Certificate to Your Site:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure Socket Layers (SSL) certificates are a must for any website these days, no matter how small it might be. These certificates tell visitors that your website is the &#8216;original,&#8217; authenticated version.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, they also enable you to use HTTPS, which has the added benefit of encrypting your users&#8217; data.<\/span>\r\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/why-ssl-is-important-why-ssl-ssl-importance-ssl-certificate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/https.jpg?resize=631%2C418&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"https pad lock for your website for security\" width=\"631\" height=\"418\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<figure>SSL Importance<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/why-ssl-is-important-why-ssl-ssl-importance-ssl-certificate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You may read about the importance of an SSL certificate here.<\/a><\/figure>\r\n<h4><b>Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;d recommend enabling 2FA right away. This is especially relevant for the most sensitive accounts (i.e., access to your website, online banking portals, etc.).<\/span><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"819\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2faenable-1024x819.jpg?resize=1024%2C819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"WHM two factor authentication (2FA) for security\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With 2FA set up, when you try to log into the website using your credentials, you&#8217;ll also be required to enter a one-time code:<\/span>\r\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.myresellerhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2fa-example.png?resize=706%2C196&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"706\" height=\"196\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s a great optional tool that enables your more safety-conscious users to protect their accounts, and it will greatly mitigate the damage from any successful phishing attacks.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>Conclusion:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phishing attacks may be everywhere, but there are plenty of ways you can protect yourself from them. It&#8217;s important to know what steps to take since your users depend on you to keep their information safe.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phishing Attacks happen all the time.
