Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a timely reminder that learning the best ways to fight phishing is crucial.

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack that is often used to steal personal information.

Cybercriminals usually do this by crafting emails that appear to be from a reputable company or individual that ask for your information. Once you submit your information, the cybercriminal uses it for their own gains.

There is no concrete way to prevent phishing attacks, so awareness and knowledge are our strongest lines of defense. Here at 帝王会所, we want to arm our community with helpful resources to help identify phishing messages and prevent our community from falling victim to scams.
