Phishing Quiz
Phishing is the act of tricking someone into giving them confidential information or tricking them into doing something that they normally wouldn’t do or shouldn’t do. For example: sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.
I was going through my feeds when I ran across a blog post recommending a phishing quiz. I took the test and am happy to say I was rated a “Security Guru”. The test is hosted by McAfee and has some really tough questions. I learned just how many things scammers can do to try and fool us.
The quiz can be found HERE. It is a good exercise in recognizing a scam.
Good luck!
