Phishing mail is mail sent for trapping or trapping, so that links to insert malware on the computer. Creating fake URLs or links that are not easily captured by cyber-criminals to carry out such attacks. It shows various temptations for the customer.
Cloud Delivery Network service provider Akamai Technologies has released a new report called The State of the Internet. According to the report, 5 percent of the attacks on financial services companies are phishing. The phishing domain is associated with tempting mail.
According to the IANS report, phishing mails are provided in such a way that the recipient of the mail opens it with greed and responds by clicking on the link contained in it. The sender of such mail conceals his identity in such a way that it looks like the actual mail. Often times such mail comes under the disguise of government mail, suppliers, customers or business mail. When you click on an attachment like a PDF, such as Word, the virus enters your computer. Clicking on the link shows the site, just like the actual site. From here, the malicious information such as passwords, banking information etc. can be taken away by the miscreants.
According to Akamai's data, more than two million phishing domains have been discovered from December 2 to May 2 of this year. Of these domains, 5% directly target customers.
