MailFrontier Phishing IQ Test

Mail Frontier has put together a good test to test of your ability to spot a email phishing scam. Phishing emails try to trick you into following a link in the email and enter personal info like usernames, password, addresses, phone numbers, birthdates and every social security numbers. This emails are getting better and better all the time. They use to be rather easy to spot because the layout was so crappy and the spelling was horrible. Banks seem to be the most targeted. I have received many emails claiming to be from Bank of America. The problem is that I have never had an account with Bank of America. Those, needless to say, are easy to spot. It is easy to protect yourself against these attacks. All you have to do is NOT click on links in ANY emails. Simply start your browser and manually type the address of the site which the email claims to be coming from.
