RE: Steemit Crypto Academy Contest / S7W6 - Hati-hati, Apakah akun Steemit Anda telah diretas?
Phishing is an attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
It typically uses email or instant messaging, and often directs users to enter personal information at a fake website which matches the look and feel of the legitimate site.
It has been a proven way to hack through people's accounts and steal their funds. But I hope with all this instructions and guidance, steemians would know how best to counter such challenges.
Thanks for this valuable information boss, and goodluck in this contest my boss.
Hi sir! Supposedly, your interesting comment is part of my writing, it is very true as you wrote, that they deliberately created a fake website to phish personal information for their nefarious mission.
Thank you very much for your helpful comments.
