of respondents from sub-Saharan Africa know enough to avoid responding to a scam, a startling 46% still trusted emails from people they knew.<\/li><li>More than half of respondents (52%) trust communications from people they know, while only 49.5% do not open attachments they have not expected.<\/li><li>Scammers have picked up on this and are getting better at pretending to be individuals or fraudulently claiming they are from trusted companies know to the victim.<\/li><li>We have firsthand experience: In 2024 scammers falsely used our company name, address and telephone number.\u00a0 They targeted consumers on WhatsApp in Tanzania to get them to divulge contact details to an Indian or Indonesian telephone number.\u00a0 Of course we offered immediate advice and support to all those

texts to trick you into giving them your passwords, account numbers, or identification document numbers (like your passport, visa, or national ID). If they get this information, they could gain access to your email, bank, or other accounts, or they could sell your information to other fraudsters.

You might receive an unexpected email or text message that appears to be from a company you know or trust, like a bank or a credit card or utility company. Or maybe it&#8217;s from an online payment website or app. The message could be from a fraudster, who might:<\/p><ul><li>claim they&#8217;ve noticed some suspicious activity or login attempts \u2014 they haven&#8217;t<\/li><li>say there&#8217;s a problem with your account or your payment information \u2014 there isn&#8217;t<\/li><li>tell you need to confirm some personal or financial information \u2014 you don&#8217;t<\/li><li>include an invoice you don&#8217;t recognize \u2014 it&#8217;s fake<\/li><li>want you to click on a link to make a payment \u2014 but the link has malware<\/li><li>say you&#8217;re eligible to register for a government refund \u2014 it&#8217;s a scam<\/li><li>offer a coupon for free stuff \u2014 it&#8217;s not real<\/li><\/ul><p>Always be cautious and verify any unexpected messages before responding.

what to do after your details have been compromised.<\/p><p>There are numerous steps that you can be take which may limit any\u00a0 damage from the attack, stop other people from becoming phishing victims of the same scam, and even protect yourself from future attacks. Here are some things to consider.<\/p><h4>Figure out what happened<\/h4><p>After a phishing attack, victims need to understand how the attack happened. This might involve a bit of investigative work, such as scrutinizing the phishing email or text to work out what the purpose of the attack might have been, checking firewall logs for any suspicious URLs or IP addresses, and working out exactly what information and details might have been compromised. It is also a good idea to check any accounts that might be associated with the stolen information to see if there is any suspicious activity.<\/p><h4>Report the attack<\/h4><p>For phishing victims wondering what to do in the aftermath of an attack, reporting it to the officials is one possible option. Although this is not always simple or straightforward, reporting the attack is important for various reasons. For example, if a legitimate organization has been implicated in the attack, it could ensure that they are aware that a scammer is masquerading as an official representative. Perhaps more importantly, it may help the victim regain control of any compromised accounts, protecting them from if the scammer tries to perpetrate identity theft, and block any suspicious financial transactions.\u00a0<\/p><h4>Contact the implicated company<\/h4><p>Legitimate businesses are often unwittingly involved in phishing attacks because the phisher pretends to be a representative or sends a message that is supposedly from the company. If this is the case, then what to do after a phishing attack will involve contacting the company in question to let them know about the incident. This way, they can take steps towards preventing future phishing attacks by advising customers to be aware that scammers are contacting clients in their name.<\/p><h4>Disconnect the device<\/h4><p>In some cases, phishing attacks can be executed with the help of malware. For this reason, it is essential that phishing victims disconnect their compromised device from the internet. This will involve disabling the device\u2019s Wi-Fi connection, or completely disconnecting and resetting the Wi-Fi network. This is important because it ensures that the malware will not be further transmitted through the network.<\/p><h4>Update any compromised passwords<\/h4><p>Phishing scams will often manipulate victims into providing sensitive information. Usually, they will use a link to redirect the user to a spoof website and get them to enter login credentials like passwords. After clicking a phishing link like this it is best to change any passwords that might have been compromised in the attack. Make sure this is done through the real website and not through the phishing link, and if the password has been reused on other accounts, be sure to change those, too.<\/p><h4>Run a malware scan<\/h4><p>Anti-virus software is a crucial part of ensuring the security and privacy of any device, but it is also an important part of phishing attack prevention. Once the software is installed, it should scan the device automatically to detect any potential malware. Ensure the software is always up to date\u2014simply set up automatic updates\u2014and run periodic manual scans that will check all devices, files, applications, and servers on the network for malware.<\/p><h4>Watch out for identity theft<\/h4><p>The purpose of some phishing attacks is to steal enough personal information about the target so that the phisher can steal their identity for fraudulent purposes. For example, by stealing someone\u2019s passport number, phone number, and birth date, the attacker can\u00a0 take out new credit cards, or other kinds of fraud. Phishing victims should watch for signs of identity theft, such as unexpected financial transactions or medical bills, new credit cards they did not apply for, suspicious login attempts to online accounts, for example. If finances are impacted, the attack should be reported to the bank.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e938894 elementor-widget
