Jeff Rossen from NBC News Today show went out on the street in New York City to see if everyday people could recognize phishing e-mails. The examples he used showed how savvy hackers are becoming in order to access your personal information. The e-mails looked very legitimate. Most of the people could not find any reason not to believe the e-mails were from the actual company that appeared on the e-mail. Hackers are evolving as fast as technology, sometimes faster, all in an attempt to reap financial rewards by stealing your identity, collecting a ransom, or accessing your company’s information to sell to other criminals.
