I have blogged on Phishing last month here.
Today, I'd like to remind all email users not to simply click on links on email, especially those that require input of sensitive information, for example password, credit card number, social security number, etc.
A fake website may look exactly like the authentic one and it can fool us into thinking that is the "real" site.
The best way to avoid information leak is to just open a new browser and type in the full URL into the address bar.
If you suspect that your information is compromised, straight away change your password, and if necessary, contact your financial institution to stop unauthorised transactions, and also have your computer disconnected from the internet and scanned for spyware at once.
