Phishing attacks typically move from location to location and are online for fewer than three days at a time. Recently, US credit unions, banks, and other financial institutions have had their identities hijacked by sophisticated phishers.

Phishing e-mails come in different forms, and all are sent in attempt to give scammers access to your confidential information. Some phishing e-mails request you to send personal information back to the sender in an e-mail. Many even include a link requesting you to enter personal information on an authentic-looking website posing as a financial institution.

Phishing e-mails appear authentic. Attackers copy official logos, send emails with well-crafted subject lines such as “Urgent security notification”, and can provide disguised links appearing identical to a legitimate website’s address.
