    Phishing and pharming are cybercrimes that involve tricking users into providing sensitive information. Phishing uses fake emails designed to look like they come from legitimate sources, while pharming uses fake websites that mimic real ones. Both aim to steal login credentials, financial information, and other private data that can be used for identity theft and fraud. Users should be wary of unsolicited emails requesting personal details and should only enter information on websites they know to be genuine. Analyzing examples can help identify telltale signs that reveal phishing and pharming scams.

    Phishing
    We all have email addresses.

    Email is a useful tool at


    home, school and in work,
    but spam and junk mail can
    be a problem.

    Phishing emails offer all


    kinds of things like money,
    prizes and very low prices for
    products that are normally
    very expensive. They can
    contain virus’.
    How phishing
    works
    Trying to trick someone into
    giving out information over
    email is called ‘phishing’.
    Will a bank
    You might receive an email
    claiming to be from your bank
    or from a social networking
    ever ask you
    for your bank
    site.
    They usually include a link to a
    fake website that looks

    log in details?
    identical to the real one.
    When you log in it sends your
    username and password to
    someone who will use it to
    access your real accounts. They
    might steal your money or your
    identity.
    How to spot a Phishing email

    7
    Phishing email Too many exclamation marks. An
    official email from a professional
    organisation will not use multiple
    exclamation marks.

    8
    Using an anonymous email address is unlikely to

    Phishing email be from an official organisation. If they are


    going to use a “noreply” email address it will
    usually take the form of
    [email protected].

    9
    Phishing email
    Using a title which is going to
    cause alarm is a typical
    approach from a scammer.

    10
    Phishing email

    The main message is written using poor


    English. Spelling and grammatical
    errors will not usually appear in an
    official email from a real organisation.

    11
    Phishing email
    A button that calls for action could take you to a
    fake website which may look official but is only
    created to gather your personal details. Usually an
    official email asking for personal details will tell the
    user to log onto the website and give the website
    address which can be checked to see if it looks
    official.

    12
    Phishing email

    Using scary language threatening the victim with


    further problems if they do not act now is another
    common tool that cyber criminals use to make people
    act quickly without thinking.

    13
    Phishing email

    A link to opt out of


    further notifications
    will not usually look
    like this. This link
    will take the victim
    to another data
    harvesting page.
