Phishing is an act that deceives people to share sensitive information by posing as a credible person or company.
A common phishing scenario is you receive an email or text that imitates a person or company you trust. The email or text usually communicates urgency to take action and would demand you to go click on a link.
These types of communications lead you to a fake website that looks similar to the legitimate website and fools you into entering your information
Fraudsters then trick you into sharing your username, password, or other personal information to gain access to your account.
There are 4 easy tips to spot a phishing attempt. Just remember to check W.E.B.S:
W – Website URL
E – Email sender
B – Coins.co.th official Blog
S – Coins.co.th official Social media pages
ALWAYS LOOK AT THE WEBSITE URL BEFORE ENTERING YOUR INFORMATION
Fraudsters are highly skilled at making fake websites look like legitimate websites. This fools you to enter your username, password, or other personal information.
To prevent this, make sure to always check the website’s URL if it contains “HTTPS.” The “S” in HTTPS means “secure.”
This is a security protocol used by legitimate websites. You can easily identify a secure website if you see a lock icon (🔒)before the link.
For Coins.co.th, check if the URL is https://coins.co.th/
VERIFY THE SENDER’S EMAIL ADDRESS
Because the sender name appears as a trustworthy person or company, phishing emails may look like the real deal.
Exercise vigilance when you receive emails by checking both the sender name and email address.
