Phishing


Unfortunately today you have to be on your toes when reading your email. Viruses and spyware are problems but one of the worst is phishing. Essentially an email will look like it came from your bank or your favorite website that you have to sign into like eBay. They will tell you something is wrong and provide you with a link to click on. It will bring you to a site that looks official but essentially is a hoax. There is a great site that provides free podcasts (audio broadcasts). Clicking here will allow you to download it and take it with you or listen to live and streaming. This is about a 10-15 minute audio. Just find the one labeled phishing and give it a try.
