 Always Check your Browser URL
Always check your URL before signing in to any page. Phishing attackers always use some URL similar to orugunal URL to make you confused. For eg:. Facebook hackers use s site like faecbook.com.

Avoid Clicking links on Spam Emails
Most of the phishing attacks spread by Email. For more info, go here. So, sometimes you will get Spam Emails as about a Document, Image etc. It will also contain links. Don't click on it. Know one thins. No company will ask you to send your personal info, password etc. If you get an Email like this, Beware!.For a sample Email, Go Here. Note one thing too. Check the Anchor text below
http://facebook.com
You will think that it will go to Facebook when you click on it. Wrong! If you click on the above link, It will go to my other blog, Blogging Bytes.blogspot.com (try it). Also one more thing. There are lots of free services available to Spoof Email address. That means you can even send Email as from no-reply@facebook.com. SO no one can doubt it. So, you must be careful even when you check Emails from Trusted IDs.

 Use a Firewall
Firewalls are Cyber security tools that secure you from Internet attacks. It can block a number of phishing sites. most of the Web hosting providers doesn't allow Phishing pages according to their Policies now. Still there are some. Also firewalls check the certificates of websites. So, It is highly recommended to use a firewall to protect your browsing session. It can save you from a number of viruses also.

 Check your Hosts file
The host file is situated in C:/Windows/etc/hosts. It is used by Desktop phishing attackers. Probably this is the most dangerous one. It is another form of phishing. The main thing is that you cannot determine this by just checking the URL. That's why this is the most dangerous. I think using a firewall can solve this up to a great extend. But still there is a chance to infect. I recommend you to read my previous article in which I detailed explained all about Hosts file and Desktop Phishing. You can read that from here.Thus you can make a better idea about Hosts file and avoid desktop phishing.

I think these simple tips will help you a great extend to prevent from hacking. Still there are some tricks to avoid all these. I will post the advanced security methods within one week. You can subscribe to our Email updates to get All the upcoming updates of this Blog to your Email ID..
