Therefore, never click on links and do not give your data to third parties.
Common types of a phishing scams:
- Spear Phishing is based on personalized communication in order to gain the user's trust;
- Clone Phishing - copying a legitimate e-mail containing an attachment or link of a fraudulent version. The e-mail is sent from a masked address;
- Whaling - targeted at senior executives or senior people within the company. It usually looks like a legitimate concern, subpoena, client issue, or corporate matter;
- SMiShing - fraud using text or SMS. It looks like a confirmation of account activity.
Often, fraudulent e-mails come as spam because they do not pass DKIM/SPF verification.
Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) technology allows a company to vouch for an e-mail message that is sent. Technically – this is a method of confirming the sender's domain through a cryptographic signature.
The Sender Policy Framework (SPF) technology is another way to identify the sender of an email and provides an additional option to filter the mail stream for spam messages.
