Threat of online security

Hi, everyone. Welcome to my third blog. Today i will give some information about the threat of online security and the ways to avoid online security threats and online frauds. According to my findings, phishing is one of the most serious online security threats nowadays. Basically, it means an attemptmade by a fraudster, to steal confidential information from innocent victim. In most of the cases, fraudster will create a clone website that looks very similar to the web page of a bank or financial institutions. The victims is asked to click a link on an email which is linked to the clone website created by them. This link allows them to all the confidential information. Once they get all the particular confidential and important information, they will redraw all the victim's money in the banks with ease.



Now, i would like to share some ways to avoid online security threats and online frauds.
1) When you received a fraudulent email informing u that you have won a million dollar lottery prize, please do not fall for this gimmick because this is not true.

2) Make sure you dont click on any unknown websites or links as they may be harmful.

3) Make sure you keep all your confidential information safely.
