Many people think phishing happens only on phones, but it is also very common on personal computers. A single click can happen almost anywhere – in an email, on Facebook, on shopping sites, on fashion websites, or in an ad that looks legitimate.
Sometimes the link leads to a fake login page that looks almost identical to the real site, trying to trick users into entering their username and password.
To reduce the risk, it is important to be careful with unfamiliar links and use security software that can detect malicious links before you click them.
