George is in his office responding to his morning emails when he notices an unusual message. The subject is concise: “Security Alert”. Obviously, he wants to know what’s going on. He opens it, reads the first paragraph to see what the problem is, then clicks the link ostensibly taking him to the company page where he will have to confirm his data to stay protected.
Without knowing it, he has just fallen into a trap. He has been directed to a page infected with malware that will steal his identity. George has become a victim of phishing. But he is not the only one — some of his co-workers have also been duped.
