❄️🎅🏼🎄❄️ Happy Holidays from your friends at Hammrtech! ❄️🤶🏼🎄❄️
Over the past few weeks, stores have begun selling out of all the best deals, online retailers are shipping our gifts as fast as they can, and every company under the North Pole has been sending out advertisements in the push to fill our stockings 🧦. With all the holiday cheer it can be easy to lose focus and get caught🎣
Advertisements and order confirmations are arriving to our inbox by the minute, making it difficult to determine what’s real and what’s not. ❗️Phishing❗️ is one of the most common attacks that happen online today, and despite the freezing water ❄️ there are more people out there doing it now than any other time of year. But what exactly is phishing?
Phishing is when a third party attempts to impersonate a trusted entity in order to trick you. Imagine it like having Santa Claus🎅🏼knock on your door, but instead of bringing gifts he comes and takes all the presents you have under your tree🎄 Over the years many of us have learned these imposters usual tricks, seeing through the classic scams like ‘Claim your BRAND NEW IPHONE HERE’, but with time these attackers have become better at donning the red hat and growing out their beards. Fortunately, for you there are still plenty of small details about the real Saint Nick that the rest can’t imitate, and our team at Hammrtech is here to help!
❗️❗️If you or your team needs assistance with keeping these imposters out of your inbox, email us at [email protected]
