Vishing is not as well known a term as phishing, but vishing can be just as harmful. Vishing is “voice phishing,” a form of social engineering fraud where attackers use phone calls, VoIP, or voicemails to trick individuals into revealing personal, financial, or login information. If you receive a suspicious call, verify the caller’s identity independently. If you’re unsure about a caller’s legitimacy, hang up and call back using a known, official number. Never use a callback number provided during a suspicious call. For more helpful tech advice, check out our Tech Tips webpage!
