AVOID BEING A VICTIM

Do you know what PHISHING is??

Phishing is a form of social engineering that involves sending emails with the purpose of deceiving people and obtaining their personal or banking information. It is essential to stay vigilant and take measures to protect yourself against this type of threat.

Here are some tips to avoid falling victim to phishing:

Verify the sender:

Carefully examine the email address of the sender to ensure it is legitimate. Do not trust senders with suspicious-looking names.

Scrutinize emails carefully:

Phishing messages often pretend to be from legitimate sources but often contain grammatical and spelling errors.

Identify signs of urgency and fear:

These emails often try to create panic or urgency to pressure the victim into making hasty decisions. Stay calm and verify the authenticity of the message.

Do not click on links:

Avoid opening the links included in the email as they may lead to fake websites designed to steal your information.

Do not download attachments:

Attachments can contain malware or computer viruses. Do not download them unless you are sure of their legitimacy.

Keep software updated:

Make sure your operating system, applications, and web browser are up-to-date with the latest security patches.

Remember that to protect yourself from phishing, it is crucial to be cautious when interacting with emails and never provide personal information in response to suspicious messages. Also, remember that Banco Shinhan de México will never request confidential banking information through links or emails. Always verify any unusual requests and contact Banco Shinhan de México if you have doubts about the authenticity of a message.
