Businesses, organizations and consumers around the world are continuing to fall for phishing<\/a> scams, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

Writing for The Star, Wendy Knowler said phishing activity continues to blight the world of internet commerce and online banking.<\/p>\n

She explained that, despite attempts on behalf of the major banks to combat the problem, large sums of money are still being lost each year.<\/p>\n

“In the case of internet fraud, fraudsters send out what are referred to as phishing emails, purporting to come from their bank,” Ms. Knowler explained.<\/p>\n

“These ask for the recipient to click on a link, embedded in the email, to update their security settings or internet banking settings.”<\/p>\n

Should the recipient comply – and the link has not yet been shut down by the bank\u2019s security division \u2013 and go on to supply their bank passwords, their accounts become exposed.<\/p>\n

The fraudster may then be able to conduct electronic fund transfers to a number of beneficiary accounts, Ms. Knowler told the news provider.<\/p>\n

According to one bank, loss is always a result of the account holder – or someone they know – falling for a phishing email and clicking through a link.<\/p>\n

“So there’s a big flashing warning for anyone who has given their internet banking passwords to a trusted colleague or relative,” the writer stated.<\/p>\n

She said people should never take their eyes off their card, not even for a second, or key their PIN number in without using their other hand as a shield.<\/p>\n

Businesses may be able to protect themselves from counterfeit fraud<\/a> through the use of phishing protection services, which help keep confidential information safe.<\/p>\n

These can help avoid phishing attacks, and reduce their duration by more than two-thirds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
