Anti-phishing Tips

May 1, 2008

On their series about online security, Google Official Blog published a list with ways to avoid getting hooked on phishing.

Good but long post. Below a three bullets points summarized:

  1. Don’t reply emails with your informations
  2. Don’t click on links from your emails. Type the website address on your browser directly.
  3. Don’t believe in great deals. If it’s too good to be true probably it’s.

Short for “be smart”.

On their post – Google, says you should look for signs as “https” or the padlock icon, I tell this belongs to the past, thats the easiest thing to fraud and  you should NOT rely just on it.
