Belgian government starts campaign against phising

Nowadays, phishing attacks are used more and more, so you have to be more and more careful about this.The Belgian government has therefore started a new awareness campaign to make people aware of this.

They have come up with a slogan, the slogan is "Relax and think twice before clicking on a link".This is not only aimed at people who use hosting but also at ordinary internet users.

It often happens that people still press phising links, often because they press too fast.

How do I recognize phising?

It may be that a phising attempt is made via email or phone, then it is important that you can recognize this.In this blog post we will cover how to recognize phising emails.

To start with, it is important that you pay attention to where the emails actually come from.If you get an email from a so-called bank asking for your details, this is almost always a phishing email.
Banks will never approach you to ask for your details.You should look at the sender, often you can see this in the mail itself.

The content

You also need to look at the content of the mail, often these mails look alike.You will see that they often ask you for your personal data, which must then be updated.

It may also be the case that you receive an email stating that you have won something.To claim your prize, all you have to do is fill in your personal details.
You do not need to fill in any further details as they will be abused if you do.

Links

The most important thing with this type of mail is that you always check the links.Phishing mails often contain links to malicious websites in the hope that you will click on them.

Of course you should not click on them because it is possible that these links contain malware.Even if you have a feeling that something is not right, it is not advisable to click on these links.

If you do happen to click on a link, it may be that you have to enter your data.These phishing websites are designed to look as real as possible.

You can also often see in the links of this website that it is a fake website.Often these will be quite long links that are also not from a bank.
