Phishing emails often contain attachments that contain malware. If you receive an email from someone you don’t know or are not expecting an email from, opening the attachment may cause a system breach. So, you should only open attachments from reliable sources.<\/p>\n
If you think you may have been the victim of a phishing attack, it’s important to take action promptly. Here are some things you can do:<\/p>\n
Change the passwords for all your online accounts, including your email, bank, and social media accounts.<\/p>\n
If you entered your credit card information on a fake website, contact your bank or credit card company. They may be able to cancel your card and issue you a new one.<\/p>\n
You can get a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus once a year at AnnualCreditReport.com. Keep an eye on your credit report for any accounts you didn’t open or any charges you don’t recognize.<\/p>\n
