Sometimes I’ll hear of people being struck with fear at the mention of making online payments through Paypal. Most of this is due to having received some malicious e-mail claiming to be from Paypal, with the attempt to steal their credit card information.
This is called “Phishing” and really has nothing to do with Paypal, nor any other financial institution, other than there are people out there who are trying to get that information from you.
So when you receive an email from “Paypal”, how can you be sure it is legitimate?
Take the “Can You Spot Phishing” challenge and see how well you do.
