Hi folks everybody talks about phising
phising this day usually likes e-mail that trying to look alike coming from your bank ( it is a real case happening in my country with a public bank )or maybe on line service you may use. One just a good fake to lead you into entering your number secret login or a credit card.
Following this situation what you will to do?In my opinion how you must to protect yourself from phising is
1.Going to visit any on-line services website only from entering it is know URL into your browser and never CLICKING links in any mail.
2.Never doing to enter crucial data into any form that is not SSL (Secure Socket Layer )and you have to be careful that SSL address is beginning with https://
3.you must log in from your own book mark or by typing in URL only and please don't forget to re check again the URL field if it still correct or not.

the very first thing is bookmark the website of your bank and try using visual keyboard provided by the bank on login screen. never try to paste your username. you will not be able to judge a phising site if you are not professional. only precaution can save you from being hacked. Read online security steps provided by any bank and try to use antivirus which use tool to stop phising.

What I do, I always manually type the right url in my box and defer any individual emails that have the "look" of the sites I usually go to. you can also look at all the strings in your email to see the ip, the mailer and etc. If you get any of these phishers always report them to your network administrators and they will handle phishers.
