Phishing scams explained: diverse users, a shield with a login hook, and a fake email popup with urgent text and suspicious link.

An illustration depicting the concept of phishing scams and online security. In the center, a large blue shield with a fishing hook (labeled “LOGIN”) represents the deceptive nature of phishing. Around the shield, four diverse individuals (a young man, a woman in a hijab, an older man, and a young woman) are shown on laptops, symbolizing internet users. Below them, a pop-up window displays a typical phishing email’s red flags: a suspicious sender address (support@paypa1.net), an urgent subject line (“URGENT ACTION REQUIRED: Account Suspended”), and a deceptive URL (http://www.paypal-secure-update.com). The background is a dark blue digital landscape with glowing network lines and padlock icons, signifying digital security and potential vulnerabilities. Text at the top reads “PHISHING SCAMS: STAY SAFE ONLINE” and at the bottom, “Protect Your Data. Be Vigilant.”
