You receive an email from your bank informing you that it suspects an unauthorized transaction on your account. To protect your account, the email advises you to click on a link to verify your identity. Should you do so?
No way, the whole thing sounds fishy! If you're concerned about your account, contact your bank directly using a phone number or web address you know is genuine.
Yes. If someone is using your bank account, you don't have a second to lose. Immediately click on the link to verify your identity.
Yes, but first you should make sure the message looks legitimate.
You're surfing the web when you see a pop-up message from your Internet Service Provider saying that it needs you to click on a link to verify or update your account information. Should you comply?
It sounds like a reasonable request, so click on the link to see what type of information they need from you, and follow the instructions.
Just say no. Legitimate companies never ask for this information via pop-up ads or email.
Reply immediately. If you don't cooperate, you could run the risk of losing all your email messages, and possible even being permanently disconnected from the Internet.
Despite all your precautions, let's say you suspect that you've been "phished" and provided personal or financial information to someone masquerading as your bank, online payment service, someone at your company, government agency, etc. What should you do? (Check all that apply)

Wait until something happens before protecting yourself. It is possible that your information never actually reached the person who was doing the phishing attack.
Your company's network administrator sends you an email warning of a security breach and asking you to confirm your password by entering it into a secure website. What should you do?
Don't share your password or any other personal information. Report the incident by calling your IT office, or by email them at an address you know to be genuine.
Don't enter your password on the website. Instead, send your reply by email to the sender.
Immediately enter your password on the website. You can always trust emails from your own organization.
There are several ways to avoid getting hooked by a phishing scam, including reviewing credit card and bank account statements as soon as you receive them and checking your credit at least yearly. How can this help you avoid being scammed?
It's a quick way to make sure you're solvent. If you have money in the bank, or credit, you're still a player!
By reviewing your statements for unauthorized changes, you can know quickly whether someone has started using your account. If this happens, you can alert authorities and stop the problem before more damage occurs.
It's not that it helps directly, but it will give you something to do while waiting to see if the scammers have drained your account.
