1. What is Phishing?
Phishing attacks are fraudulent schemes that impersonate others to obtain personal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, financial data, and identification. These communications claim to be from official sources, such as official, operations, customer service, or network administrators, in an attempt to deceive victims.
2. Phishing Distribution Methods
1. Through Viruses: Criminals create a website identical to Megabit’s and use computer viruses, spam software, or similar methods to send the fake website address to investors’ computers or place it on search engines to lure investors into logging in. This can lead to theft of user account passwords, transaction information, or funds.
2. Through SMS Messages: Criminals send fraudulent SMS messages impersonating Megabit, claiming that the user has won something or that their account has been compromised. These messages prompt investors to log in to a website specified in the SMS for identity verification. This website is a fake one created by the criminals to collect user information. If users log in and perform actions on this site, their account and password information will be stolen.
3. Creating Fake Websites: Criminals first set up a fake website and then post misleading activity information on social media platforms. This activity often promises attractive rewards to users. When users log in on the fake website, their account and password information is captured by the criminals.
4. Impersonating Official Emails: Criminals send numerous fraudulent emails enticing users to log in to fake websites. These emails might use various reasons such as winning prizes or system upgrades, asking recipients to click on links and log in to a site resembling Megabit’s. If investors enter their account and password information on this site, it will be stolen.
5. Sharing Phishing Links in Social Media Groups: Criminals share phishing website links in social media groups to lure users into visiting fake sites.
3. Preventing Phishing
•Use a secure and up-to-date Chrome browser.
•Note: Chrome is a Google product known for high security, and updating to the latest version is important because older versions may have many vulnerabilities.
•Avoid installing browser plugins indiscriminately.
•Note: Browser plugins have high permissions and can pose risks of account theft, such as the “User-Agent Switcher backdoor incident” in Chrome.
•Do not open links from unknown sources and avoid entering Megabit account passwords or personal information on unfamiliar websites to prevent theft by phishing sites or malware.
•Install antivirus software and regularly scan your computer and mobile devices.
•Update system patches regularly.
