With the world becoming more and more digital, cybercrime is gaining strength every year as one of the types of crimes that can most harm individuals and companies. Faced with this situation, it is important to know exactly how each of the threats works and the correct way to protect yourself.
One of the most common threats for both businesses and the average individual is phishing. In case you don't know the term, it comes from the word “fishing” which is “fishing” in English, precisely because it involves the practice of throwing a bait and waiting for someone to fall into this trap.
Techniques have become more and more refined. In the past, cybercriminals fired a plethora of emails in hopes of snaring a careless user, but attacks are increasingly targeted and well thought out to make it increasingly difficult to distinguish what is a fake message and what is true.
