With our time spent on e-mail, social media, various online services and online banking rising steadily, the topics surrounding Internet safety are becoming increasingly more important.
But there is no need to worry – you don't have to be an expert to browse the web safely! Here are a few simple habits you can adopt.
When online, remember to always secure a safe access to your e-mail, online banking and social media and always be careful when opening e-mails containing links or attachments.
Phishing messages are a type of online fraud in which the sender, falsely claiming to be a legitimate organization, sends out e-mails in order to steal sensitive information.
An example of phishing are e-mails seemingly coming from Zagrebačka banka, that are in reality not sent by the Bank. Example: sender’s address is noreply@zaba.com.
Even though such messages will display Zagrebačka banka’s logo, they are not sent by Zagrebačka bank! These messages seeming originating from the Bank contain the kind of links and attachments the Bank would never send you, and often contain grammar and spelling mistakes.
