Identity Theft Check

I’ve come accross a lot of dodgy emails and a lot of dodgy websites in my time, working in this industry. One can usually spot a dodgy email or website a mile off, but do you think you could spot a sophisticated website?

Looks real? Well it’s not, infact if you click on any of those news links, it is going to try and download a few tricks to comprimise your computer.

Things to look out for

The websites url - This fake website will not have the correct URL / Domain name. It will have a URL as close as possible to the real thing in the hope that you won’t study it long enough to browse away from the website.

Spelling Mistakes - Sometimes even sophisticated hackers typo their work.

Too good to be true - Or even too bad to be real.

In summary, common sense prevails and anything else should be caught by any decent virus scanner.
