What’s Your Phishing IQ?
You’ve probably heard of those false emails and websites that try to trick you into giving away your passwords, credit card numbers and soforth by pretending to be legitimate — a practice called phishing. McAfee has posted a ten-question “Phishing Quiz,” where you can test your knowledge and observation skills by correctly identifying 10 common phishing sites and emails. Give it a shot and see how well you know this stuff.
I scored a 10 out of 10 — making me a so-called “Safety Guru.”
Here’s a hint: Do you really think Bank of America would direct you to a page full of misspellings and poor grammar? Hmm!

I am a tightrope Walker!! Not bad
9 out of 10. I think the vaguely-worded fake PayPal one is my favorite. “Congrats for signing up to PayPal! Now we scare you with vaguely-worded threats and the like!”
I was a Tightrope Walker too, which surprised me because I mostly guessed! I need to study this stuff, obviously.
Thanks for the info!
