When can I trust a link? • In my opinion… • Never? • At least not when sensitive information at risk • Go directly to known trusted site • stlawu.edu • bankofamerica.com • Pause before providing personal information or password • look for reasons to trust a link rather than reason not to #SaintsGoSocial
Why phishing, why steal account? • One prominent credential seller in the underground peddles • $8 - iTunes accounts • $6 - Fedex.com, Continental.com and United.comaccounts • $5 - Groupon.com accounts • $4 - Godaddy.com, Att.com, Sprint.com, Verizonwireless.com, and Tmobile.com. • $2.50 - Facebookand Twitter #SaintsGoSocial
