Recent String of Phishing Popups Looking to Get Your Information

 

There’s a new phishing scam going around where people will receive a seemingly legitimate pop up on their computers saying that the user can take a survey and qualify for exclusive reward offers. Jeff Durbin with Computer Techniques says these pop ups are just a scam trying to get your information.

 

 

The pop ups are very convincing, since they correctly display your internet service provider and your IP address in the pop up. Durbin explained how these pop ups can find this information.

 

 

Should you receive one of these pop ups, simply disregard it, and close the pop up. If you have any questions, simply call your internet provider.
