What is phishing?
The phishing is a fraud system that consists in cheating or obtaining confidential data fraudulently. Through a hoax (generally they go through an administration, banking entity or company), they request client’s private data for subsequent use. These data are passwords, credit cards or bank information.

tips to avoid phishing
Next, we give you some tips to avoid phishing cases:
- 1. Use markers or the search engine to enter bank accounts
To manage your online bank, enter through the browser bar itself or the “markers” tab. Avoid entering through hyperlinks, since one of the most outstanding phishing techniques is the replication of websites to make them go through the original.
- 2. If you doubt security, do not risk and consult the original source
If, in a situation of possible phishing, you have doubts, do not rush and consult the original source. In addition, your bank or financial will not request your confidential data via online without any certificate or extra security system.
- 3. Phishing not only lives from email: social and mobile networks are also the objective of phishing
Social networks or SMS are also a phishing entry source. Generally, they intend to access your confidential data through hooks such as prizes or competitions.
