At ByteWise Computer Co., we’ve seen firsthand how damaging phishing scams can be—from stolen passwords and drained bank accounts to hijacked email accounts that spread the problem even further. These scams are getting more sophisticated every day, but with a little awareness and a few smart habits, you can stay ahead of the bait.

Phishing is a cyberattack where scammers pose as legitimate companies, coworkers, or institutions to trick you into giving up sensitive info—like passwords, credit card numbers, or access to your devices. It usually comes in the form of an email, text message, or even a phone call that urges you to click a link or open an attachment.

1. Urgent or threatening language: “Your account will be closed!” “Immediate action required!” Real companies don’t scare you into acting fast.
2. Misspelled URLs or sender names: Always hover over links before clicking. An email from "support@paypaI.com" (notice the capital “i”) is not from PayPal.
3. Unexpected attachments or links: Don’t click on files unless you’re expecting them—and even then, verify.
4. Generic greetings: “Dear Customer” instead of your actual name is a red flag.
5. Requests for sensitive info: No legitimate company will ask you to send passwords, SSNs, or banking info over email or text.

How to Protect Yourself:

• Enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) on all accounts that offer it.

• Keep your software and antivirus up to date.

• Never reuse passwords across multiple accounts.

• Educate your coworkers and family—the more people who know, the safer we all are.

• Report phishing emails to your email provider and delete them.
