Protect Yourself Against Phishing

What is Phishing?

Phishing is a fraudulent technique used by criminals to obtain sensitive information such as passwords, bank details, or credit card numbers through fake communications pretending to be from legitimate entities. These fraud attempts can occur through emails, text messages, or fake websites. Scammers often try to deceive victims into providing confidential information without realizing they are being tricked.

How to Identify a Phishing Attack

There are several signs that can help you identify a phishing attempt. Watch out for:

• Suspicious or unknown sender addresses: Always check the email address. Scammers often use addresses that look like official ones but with small differences.

• Requests for personal or banking data: Be suspicious of requests to confirm or provide sensitive information such as passwords or banking details.

• Messages with an alarming tone: For example, “Your account will be blocked,” creating a sense of urgency that pushes you to act without thinking.

• Spelling or grammatical mistakes: Fraudulent messages often contain typos or poor grammar.

• Lack of personalization: If the message doesn’t include your name and uses generic greetings like “Dear Customer,” it’s a red flag.
  
  

How to Protect Yourself from Phishing Attacks

Your data security starts with your vigilance. Follow these recommendations to avoid falling victim to scams:

• Verify the authenticity of the sender: Always check the email address or phone number before replying. If in doubt, contact the claimed entity directly.

• Do not click suspicious links or download attachments: If a message seems strange, avoid clicking on any links or opening attached files.

• Never provide login credentials or banking information via email or phone: Legitimate entities will never ask for such information in an unsecured way.

• Access our site only via the official address: To ensure you’re on the correct site, always use bialto.com.

• Report suspicious messages: If you receive a suspicious message, contact our support team so we can investigate and take the necessary actions.
