Phishing Attacks in South Africa Become More Sophisticated and Harder to Spot

Summary

Phishing attacks in South Africa have become more advanced and harder to detect. These emails now look very real and often come from trusted or familiar accounts. They even pass through many common security checks that used to catch fake messages. Because of this, it is more difficult to tell if an email is safe just by looking at the sender or checking basic signs. Cybercriminals use these tactics to trick people into giving away sensitive information like passwords and bank details. It is important to stay cautious and not click on links or download attachments from unknown or suspicious sources. Always double-check the sender's email address and look for small errors in the email's language or formatting. Businesses and individuals should consider stronger security measures and educating employees and family members about these new phishing risks.
