Amazon warning: Be careful of current phishing emails
Amazon customers receive so-called phishing emails at regular intervals. Currently, such a dangerous message can end up in your inbox. If a message appears with the subject “Amazon Account Security” and a link that says “Sign in and request code,” it could be a phishing email. Experts recommend moving such emails to the spam folder if left unanswered.
The current warning from the consumer advice center deals with fraudulent emails in the name of Amazon. The fraudsters try to attack customer accounts and intercept personal information. The emails report unusual login activity that prompts victims to request a supposed security code. By clicking on the link, cyber criminals could gain access to personal data and take over customers' accounts.
To avoid falling victim to such scams, Amazon recommends not opening links in suspicious emails and not responding to attachments. It's important to check URLs and watch for suspicious activity. A simple trick to check the destination URL of a link is to hover over it and view the destination URL at the bottom left of the screen. Customers should be vigilant and exercise caution to protect themselves from account suspensions.
