just don't give away your details to people you don't trust!
I think you should keep your information confidential and not easy for others to know
-Use ad-blockers
-Refrain from visiting unreliable websites
-Refrain from interacting with virtual ads/surveys/prize giveaways/random links
-Stay cautious about spam emails that might contain phishing links (especially fake bank links because those might open bogus login pages to extract sensitive information)
-Install reliable security software for added protection
-STAY AWAY from too-good-to-be-true offers

Hope you will find this useful :)
The best ways to save yourself from Phishing is to Install an Anti-Phishing Toolbar. Most of the popular Internet browsers allow you to install anti-phishing toolbars that are too convenient to take advantage of.
Nice one AmyFoxss. Google is too tired now haha... @al.waits very well said. A must read to everybody especially the one who posted the question.
I second this!! From my experience I've heard a lot of phishing starts with an email, so adding to the list:Quote:

- be cautious of emails claiming to be of some authority (like your boss or your bank) and request for your personal or financial info. It's best to directly verify with the "said" person by directly calling or contacting them through different means if your information is really needed from them
- if you really want to check whether a link is suspicious in an email, you can hover over them and see a preview without directly clicking on it! My Mac shows my link previews on the bottom left of my screen
hope that helps!!!
use secure dns and doh
