Is a hypothetical win worth losing your data?
Let’s say you click on a “promotion” and in return give someone access to your email, bank account or private messages. It was supposed to be a great trip to warm countries and there is minus 50 thousand in the account.
In an instant, your private or professional life can be destroyed.
Don’t give out your data just anywhere. Think twice before you click – is it really worth the risk?
Tips:
- Don’t give out your work data on competition websites.
- Make sure the websites are reliable.
