2. Beware of Unknown Emails

It’s been one of the popular tricks used by hackers since the evolution of emails. Phishing, a way in which criminals send fake emails representing banks, tech companies or the government to trick people into sharing sensitive information. Apart from emails, they also share texts, voice calls and chats via social networking sites to get the personal data and money from individuals. According to Verizon’s 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report, around 32 percent of data breaches and 78 percent cyber-spying cases are a result of phishing. It is advised not to open any suspicious emails and unknown links as these could contain malicious software that can steal the information from the system.
