How it works
Phishing replaces your usual sign-in route with an imitation. A message or QR code leads to a lookalike page asking for data. Urgency discourages checking.
What to check and do
- Do not open unexpected attachments or enter data through the message.
- Open the service through your usual independent route.
- Verify the request using a contact you found on the official website.
Learning scenario
Learning example: “Access expires in 10 minutes. Scan this QR code to verify.” No real QR code is provided.
Self-check
Your answer stays on this page until it is closed or reloaded. No real passwords, codes or documents are needed. The result is not a security certificate.
Important limits
Correct spelling and a familiar name can also be forged. No single visual sign proves safety.
