Classroom Discussion Prompt
Classroom Discussion Prompt
Despite their funny sounding names, Phishing/Smishing is a scheme that is meant to trick you into providing personal information to scammers. They take advantage of human emotions to trigger a response such as offering a prize, threatening a late fee or demanding a password change due to fraudulent activity in your account. In 2020, there were over 241,000 victims of phishing and related scams (which is enough people to sell out Fenway Park over six times)!
What personal information are these scammers trying to collect that you need to protect?
