What is a Phishing Attack?

A phishing attack is a form of cyber fraud where an attacker disguises themselves as a trustworthy entity (such as a bank, a company, or an acquaintance) to trick users into disclosing sensitive information, such as passwords, card numbers, or other personal data.

Common Types of Phishing Attacks Include:

  • Email: Disguised as an official email, requesting the user to click a link and enter personal information.

  • Fake Websites: Creating pages similar to legitimate websites to trick users into entering sensitive information.

  • SMS and Calls: Requesting users to provide personal information via text message or telephone.

  • Social Engineering: Exploiting social media platforms to gain a user's trust and induce them to reveal information.

To Protect Yourself:

  • Do not use the MPChat card on unsecured websites: Especially links from unknown sources.

  • Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication): To increase account security.

  • Use Security Software: Regularly update your antivirus software and firewall.

  • Contact Official Customer Service: If you receive suspicious communication, please contact MPChat customer service through the official app to verify and confirm the information.

Stay vigilant and protect the security of your personal information.
