Phishing in e-commerce increases and users are advised to exercise caution with online activities

NEW YORK - Oct. 27, 2022 - PRLog -- Phishing is a type of internet fraud that seeks to acquire a user's credentials by deception. It includes stealing passwords, credit card numbers, bank account details, and other confidential information. Phishing messages usually take the form of fake notifications from providers, e-payment systems, banks, and other organizations.

Phishing could occur when a user has tried to open a website by following a link in an e-mail message or on the web.

The first half of the year witnessed the reopening of borders, but the pandemic habits seem to remain consistent. Despite regained physical freedom, increasing number of people prefer to do their banking, shopping, financial activities and businesses online because of its unparalleled convenience. As such, bad actors on the internet are taking advantage of this, to conduct phishing activities.

"More than installing reliable security solutions with anti-phishing and secure payment capabilities, the best defense against phishing is being informed and discerning of the emails and other messages users receive." Said Zeng Han Jun, CEO of Genkii !.
