A Message from Our Founder: Mike Moradian
More Internet hackers, scammers, and phishing experts than ever before are flocking to email today in an effort to obtain personal information, bank account information, or identification information that can ruin a person’s life. With the continual release of♔ new technology, AI, and other automated tools that can make it easy for someone to send fake emails, over and over again, singular attackers are able to impact thousands of students, applications, job-seekers, and graduates today.
Just look at this statistic, for example: phishing attacks grew by 162% between 2010 and 2014. On average, these atta🍸cks cost organizations around the world $4.5 billion every single year, with over 50% of internet users receiving at least one phishing email per day. Despite software and other safety walls that are designed to keep phishing emails from landing in your inbox, at the rate at which these hackers are refining their technology, sꦐome still manage to slip through.
Naturally, individuals looking for scholarships, information from college admission’s boards, responses from organizations or places of employmꦍent, and other acceptance letters are going toꦡ be at risk for opening a phishing email that promises an answer to one of these questions. It’s inevitable.
