Phishing/Smishing/Vishing:
Phishing – Social Engineering attempt to acquire personal information such as usernames, passwords, account information, card information, etc.
Smishing – Phishing attach where a cell phone user receives a text message containing a link that, if clicked, would lead to a site containing malware and/or downloads malware to the phone.
Vishing – Social engineering attempt to gather information over the phone. Call often comes from a spoofed phone number to look like a well known number. (Ex. Call comes through with a Credit Union phone number)
All the above social engineering techniques can result in the loss of funds and/or the compromise of personal information. It is important to safe guard your personal information and always be cautious when opening emails or links from individuals/businesses that you are unfamiliar with. Stay curious and when in doubt reach out to your local FCCU branch for assistance.
