This really is a bigger threat than most people image.</p><p>Twitter got hit by a wave of phishing e-mails yesterday by the way. A lot of people fell for it, so there's a lot of buzz going around now about phishing. Kind of the typical "omg, I had no idea!"-scenario for a lot of users.</p><p>Anyway, glad to see someone spreading the good word on how to avoid being scammed!</p>DavidSun, 04 Jan 2009 18:33:49 -0000http://blog.bull3t.me.uk/archives/internet/five-ways-to-avoid-phishing-scams/#comment-5620279<p>Great article. Also watch for the use of subdomains as a way of disguising a URL for example..</p><p><a href="http://bankofamerica.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="bankofamerica.com">bankofamerica.com</a> might be the real site and the link could go to <a href="http://ban.kofamerica.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="ban.kofamerica.com">ban.kofamerica.com</a></p>JacobFri, 26 Dec 2008 21:07:51 -0000http://blog.bull3t.me.uk/archives/internet/five-ways-to-avoid-phishing-scams/#comment-5620272<p>The best thing you can do is not give your private info away in emails. No legit business will ever ask for this information in the form of email.</p>TaylorWed, 24 Dec 2008 10:49:36 -0000http://blog.bull3t.me.uk/archives/internet/five-ways-to-avoid-phishing-scams/#comment-5620274<p>Great post, my mother has fallen victim to phishing scams more times than I can count. You better believe that I'm forwarding this to her now, she seems to make the same mistakes time and time again.</p>taylor jacobsinMon, 22 Dec 2008 18:08:28 -0000http://blog.bull3t.me.uk/archives/internet/five-ways-to-avoid-phishing-scams/#comment-5620278<p>thanks for your concern.<br>I'll keep those in mind. Nowadays, many criminals are taking advantage <br>of the dependence of people over the net. That's why we should always be careful in every move that we'll take.</p>Daniel HeMon, 22 Dec 2008 11:25:26 -0000http://blog.bull3t.me.uk/archives/internet/five-ways-to-avoid-phishing-scams/#comment-5620273<p>This is a violation of privacy and can open potential further security loopholes.
