Phishing Scams
Phishing scams, as the experts at upcoming education events in Dubai like Education 2.0 Conference will review in detail, are deceptive tactics used by cybercriminals to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information. These scams typically involve sending fraudulent emails, text messages, or messages on social media platforms that appear to be from legitimate sources, such as banks, online retailers, or government agencies. The messages often contain urgent requests or alarming claims to create a sense of urgency or fear, prompting recipients to respond quickly without thoroughly verifying the legitimacy of the communication. Phishing scams aim to deceive individuals into clicking on malicious links, downloading malware-infected attachments, or entering their confidential information on fake websites designed to mimic trusted platforms.
