Simple but effective!

In this blog, you will be introduced to concepts and things that you may not have though of. However this particular entry is going to short and concise!

The simple truth is, use your head. Try to look at all concepts. For example when you get a phishing e-mail, read it carefully.

A company that is a true victim of phishing is Paypal. The phisher will send e-mail that for all intents and purposes looks like its from paypal. However when you look closer at the e-mail it will have dead giveaways. A line might be slightly in the wrong place, a spelling incorrect.

Now don't get me wrong the are getting better and better. But if you want to check something on your account in anything, just open a new browser.

That particular thing has to be the best piece of advice you can have, so I'm going to repeat it. OPEN UP A NEW BROWSER, DON'T USE LINKS IN AN E-MAIL.

So like I said, in the title, simple but effective!
