Hi, good day to you. Who are you ? Developer, just internet user looking for some information about something ? Maybe you are an ebay seller or Twitter user. Beware, they are phishing you! Who are they ? And what is phishing? If you don’t know what is phishing it is a good idea to shut off your modem and to throw it to the open window ( Try not to hurt anybody walking down the street ). C’mon it’s just a joke, we just want to inform you about internet malicious hackers activity.
So, what’s phishing? Phishing is when someone wants to steal your private information like username and password. There are lots of methods of phishing, and we will share with you all of them .
Email phishing – when someone sends you an email with convincing text to go to your paypal account or ebay account, when you are clicking the link, you redirected directly to the scammers web page. So you are the unlucky fish cought by the phisher. Phishing landing page looks exactly like your ebay login page or your paypal login page, once you entered your username and password, your information is sent to the phisher and he can easily deposit all your bank account cash to his account for example. So how to avoid it, before you are leaving your information to someone, in our case ebay phishing page for example, check out it’s domain name on your browser address bar , it should be www.ebay.com and not www.ebay.com.tw or something.
Another example when someone sends you the link with text “check out this funny picture” on twitter, once you click on this link you’ve been redirected to the “twitter” login page, once again , it will be phisher landing page.real twitter login page url should start with www.twitter.com or twitter.com
Beware, check 1000 times before you are living your private information somewhere.
