It’s phishing and pharming XMas time again!

Scammers and authors of malicious software will take any opportunity to trick users into doing something they shouldn’t – holidays are a favourite time for the scammer. At Xmas, we all have that warm and fuzzy feeling. But so do  the scammers and they prey on a softening of attitudes towards security at this time of year. We’re also bombarded by a cacophony of Xmas advertising that all but drowns out the ability to pick right from wrong.

So in preparation for the current season of phishing, I’ve compiled a list of links to online phishing tests that will sharpen your phishing identification skills – have fun!
