My article is from the CNN news website and it is titled “Mobile users more vulnerable to e-mail phishing scams.” This article interested me because many people have internet on their mobile devices and may be susceptible to e mail phishing scams. Phishing is another more effective way of hacking that many hackers use to create fake e mails and other viruses to mobile and desk computers. This article states that the reason that mobile phone users are more likely to run into these email scams is because they are on the internet all the time and they tend to check their emails as soon as they receive them. Desk top users can also be affected by these phishing scams but it is not as common as mobile devices. The article states that you should never open an email unless you are 100% sure that you are familiar with that email. These phishing scams can ruin your device and take a lot of time to fix. Due to the fact that these scams are popular among mobile devices makes it such a big concern. Almost everyone has the internet on their phone and they need to be informed of theses phishing scams. I do not have internet on my phone which can be a good thing and a bad thing. At least my phone will be safe from these scams but I still have my lap top to worry about. I thought this article would help inform every one of these scams since many people have internet on their mobile devices. These scams are hard to recognize but to stay safe you can avoid emails you are not familiar with and by all means do not enter any personal information in these emails if you do end up opening one of these scams. This article relates to what we have gone over in class. Internet security is crucial when using computers or phones. You have to be careful with what you choose to enter into the internet and you have to be aware of all of these different types of scams like viruses and phishing scams.
