Beware Of This Tricky Gmail Phishing Scam – Your Account May Be At Risk!




If you are a regular web browser or know your way around the Internet, you probably know all about phishing scams.
For those who don’t, phishing is the attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and, indirectly, money), often for malicious reasons, by disguising a communication source as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

Most phishing scams are very easy to detect and easily differentiated from any original website. However, Wordfence recently highlighted a scam that is devilishly clever and can easily dupe you, if you aren’t careful.
This scam works very simply, an attacker disguises themselves as someone you know and sends you an email with an attachment. When you click the attachment to get a preview, you will be redirected to the Gmail login page.
