phishing.md
  • Fisrt look at the url and make sure it has, https in it or a lock 🔒 symbol in the address bar when you click it
  • If you open the link and it takes you to multiple links not the one you intended to see as it was described in the message
  • If it asks for any camera or contact permission, I will not continue opening it
  • If the link asks you to share the message immediately opening the link it's definitely bogus link though it may be secure one but people trying to establish their online presence through fake images like gold and money as a link image
  • Most of the legitimate websites or online services will never ask you to sign up or login or share immediately. They will have a product info and info like that
  • There are lot of ways to identify whether it's a fake or not, I would look at the above as basic measures for most of the people
  • And to all of you browse web day in dayout, I would recommend you to use Brave browser
  • It blocks lot of malicious links and ads and trackers so that you are privacy is safeguarded
  • You can download this for mobile and PC, this is not to promote the Brave browser, I've using this since long time, it's very good. Give a try
  • I opened the link provided above, it opens as secure website but looking at the URL I can see it's definetly bogus one, no one want to create a website name like that, and the link provided above was not the same as what you see below
  • Look at the URL, they are different, before clicking and after clicking and brave browser shows that it blocked some stuff
  • This is lot of info to digest, sorry if I had bombarded with so much of info. Let me be very clear, it's just a tip of iceberg there is lot to it.
  • If you have paid close attention it says, you have 0 mins and 00 seconds to answer this survey. It's attention seeking through fake timers or creating urgency, there is a technical word for it, I don't remember
  • And they are illegally using Tata logo as a logo, which is an offense. These people know that people believe that it's from Tata group and many educated will fall into fray, and the website won't be live if you check it tomorrow or week later.
  • This is known to us through education base we have along with researches that we do regularly, they spend millions to study all this stuff, cyber security is next big thing in countries like India. Hope it will catch up and people will be educated soon
