Phishing scams on a rise
Social engineering attacks such as phishing and scamming are on the increase in Namibia, as many people continue to fall prey to psychological manipulation by being tricked into making security mistakes or giving out sensitive information.
Phishing, usually used to scam, occurs when a deceiving and fraudulent email is sent, purporting to be from a reputable company or an individual, to reveal personal information such as passwords or credit card numbers.
