To defeat the enemy, you must think like the enemy. 🥷 Hackers don't always use complex code to hack you; sometimes, they just ask for your password, and you give it to them! This is called Phishing. 🎣
📧 What is Phishing?
Phishing is when a hacker sends you a fake email or link that looks real. For example, you might get an email that looks exactly like "Instagram Support" saying:
"Your account will be deleted in 24 hours! Click here to verify your identity." 🚨
When you click the link, it opens a fake website. You type your password, and BOOM 💥 — the hacker gets it instantly.
🕵️ How to Spot a Fake Link?
- Check the URL: Instead of
facebook.com, it might sayfaceb00k-login.xyz. - Urgency: They always try to scare you ("Act Now!", "Urgent!"). ⏳
- Spelling Errors: Professional companies rarely make grammar mistakes.
🛡️ How to Stay Safe?
1. Never click on suspicious links.
2. Always look at the address bar.
3. Use our Random Password Generator to create unique passwords for every site. If one site gets phished, your other accounts remain safe!
