As email security technologies improve, scammers are increasingly targeting social media apps, text messages, and voice calls to conduct social engineering attacks, according to a new report from the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG).
The report also found that the volume of phishing attacks targeting bank accounts has fallen compared to last year, but these attacks have grown more sophisticated and targeted. They are using phone-based methods to allow the fraudsters to talk victims out of their sensitive information.
Stay Alert

Here's two quick questions to ask yourself to help protect yourself from being a target of a phishing attempt or other scam:
1) Did the message arrive unexpectedly?
2) Is it the first time the sender has asked you to perform a requested action?
If you answer “yes“ to both of these questions, take the time to pause and consider deleting the message (or hanging up if it’s a call), or contacting the person or business directly to ask about the legitimacy of the message. You should never click or respond without pausing to consider the potential risk.
