Malware can be spread through hyperlinks and attachments. Phishing A perpetrator sends you an email that looks legitimate, but they’re trying to steal your personal and financial information.

They then demand a ransom to give you back control of your tech. Ransomware can be spread through hyperlinks and attachments. Search engine phishing These scams involve directing you to malicious sites through a search engine. The site may offer low-cost products or services like credit cards or loans. If you enter your credit card information, it’s collected by the phishing site. Smishing Similar to email and IM attacks, links are delivered to your mobile device via text messaging. Malware is launched when you click on a hyperlink that takes you to a malicious website. Social engineering This is a non-technical kind of scam. It often relies on criminals tricking you into breaking normal security procedures or divulging confidential information. The perpetrator may try to appeal to you on an emotional level. Spearphishing Your company or organization may be targeted in a spearfishing email attack. The scammer may request unauthorized access to confidential data or money. For example, a cybercriminal poses as your CEO to try and trick you into sending cash. Vishing The telephone version of phishing is vishing. You receive a message asking you to call a number to settle an account or fix an error. The perpetrator wants to get your personal information. If they get it, they could use it to access your account or open credit cards in your name. REPORT A SCAM TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION Please forward your phishing e-mails to abuse@fedex.com.
