What is phishing and how dangerous can it be to you

In today’s digital world, cybercrime has become a powerful tool for criminals looking to steal data and extort money. The most dangerous of all the cyber attacks is phishing.

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including logon credentials and credit card numbers.
In April this year, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) launched its Suspicious Email Reporting Service (SERS) into which the public can report any suspicious email.
In the 3 months since the launch, the NCSC has analysed over 1 million reports resulting in the removal of over 4,000 scams and 11,000 dangerous URLs.
Phishing attacks are up 200% this year.
