Other Types of Phishing Emails Anticipate that you may receive fake UPS, Fedex, Amazon, or other emails trying to get you to click on links or provide personal information. Simply delete these emails. Also anticipate Holiday greetings, birthday messages, funny videos, or gossip headlines as ways which attackers will try to steal your information or send you to a malicious website. Delete all such suspicious messages.
Web Browsing Visit trusted websites that are needed to conduct Pace University business. What happens when visiting a malicious website? An attacker may be able to take full control of your computer, log all key strokes including your username and password and all information you type, may be able to access all the information you are authorized to view, an attacker can impersonate you by sending messages from your account, they can access everything on your computer without you knowing Aimless surfing to non-work related sites increases the chances that you will be compromised. Although Antivirus software is an important tool, it is only 60%-75% effective in detecting malware.
