Check your phishing knowledge
So, you think you’re up to date on the latest in Internet scams? Just call you “Yogi” because you’re smarter than the average bear, right? You won’t be one of the thousands who will lose an estimated $481,000,000.00, to the mechanizations of the unscrupulous.
You’ve installed Spoofstick on your copy of Firefox for extra-strength protection. You carefully read through all of your email and you’re so good now that you can spot an attempt at phishing before it even lands in the spam folder of your text-based email client.
Is that so? Well, then it’s time for you to step up to the challenge. See just how high your “Phish Identification Quotient” is. The Washington Post has rounded up ten examples of emails sent to people. Some of them are examples of phishing, others are not.
