With cybercriminals crafting fake websites to steal passwords and financial data, it's imperative to be vigilant. Recognizing deceptive sites is not just about the look but also about identifying domain discrepancies, suspicious directory paths, and unexpected pre-filled information. Armed with the right knowledge, you can avoid falling prey to these sophisticated scams and protect your personal information.
From domain name discrepancies to unexpected pre-filled data, learn the signs to avoid falling for phishing scams and protect your personal informationMany fake websites are designed to mimic popular online stores, banks, and delivery services to steal passwords and financial data.
If personal data fields like email or card numbers are pre-filled on suspicious sites, it might indicate that cybercriminals have access to some of your data. WordPress is one of the most popular web content management systems, and the number of hacked sites on the platform runs into tens of thousands. However, once you know what to look for, it's not hard to detect such sites yourself.When following a link in an email, a social media post, or an ad, it pays to look at the URL of the site you land on. If it's a hacked site, the discrepancy will be staring you in the face.
Chances are that the URL will end in .php. Pages with the .php extension are quite common, which is not a sign of hacking. But combined with this directory path, the .php extension is compelling evidence of guilt.If the site name seems unfamiliar or suspicious, you can perform an additional check by visiting the home page. To do that, delete the URL tail, leaving only the domain name.
