How do you identify a phishing email? As technology has advanced, so too have phishing scams. Some will seem legitimate; fake links, sites and names can be convincing, however, many of them still follow the same format. Use the checklist below to help you identify a scam:
The act of sending emails to trick unsuspecting victims into disclosing personal information.
A more targeted form of phishing, aimed at specific individuals, organisations or businesses.
The impersonation of CEOs & directors to steal sensitive information from other employees.
Social engineering that tricks victims into giving up sensitive, personal information over the phone.
Phishing using a text message to get users to share their personal data, passwords or bank details.
The redirection of web traffic from legitimate sites to fake sites in order to steal financial & personal data.

Managing passwords across many devices can become a chore, particularly if you need to log in to a site that requires you to enter the password manually every time.
A survey by Bitwarden shows that around two-thirds of people still rely on their memory when it comes to passwords – but one in five people have to change their passwords several times a week due to the inability to remember them. Not only that, but a recent survey also showed that 15% of people in the UK use their pet’s name as their password!
