Email scamming has become a $12,000,000,000 industry over the last few years, and this number continues to grow yearly. These are serious crimes, and individuals fall for these scams every second. You will receive an email that appears to be from a legitimate company such as Amazon, American Express, Norton, etc. The email will ask you to sign in to your account, and the login screen will resemble the company’s login page. Once signed in, the scammers then scan your emails for login information, bank account information, credit card information, account logins, and other personal information.
Why Do Most Cyberattacks Begin with an Email?
Almost everyone in this entire world has an email account, and many companies post their email accounts online. Many businesses publish employees’ work emails on their websites. Scammers can then easily copy from a website and send a spam email. Many scammers use “scraping” software that will scrape websites for email addresses to make it even easier to send hacking emails. For example, scammers recreate Amazon order emails and fake login pages, so an individual wouldn’t even realize they’re not logging into Amazon until it’s too late.
What happens once they have my login information?
The cyber-attack attempts start as soon as the scammers have your login information. At this point, the scammers try to get into computer systems to disable computers and steal sensitive data. Individuals, businesses of all sizes, government organizations, and non-profits have seen cyber attacks. Anyone with an email address is vulnerable to scams, phishing attacks, and cyber-attacks. Many county governments had to pay ransoms because they didn’t have properly secure networks.
