You should also be wary of emails that you receive.  If you receive an email from a friend that’s not the usual sort of email they would send query it with them before you act on it to see if they really did deliberately send it to you.  The following rule is also very important.

No company will EVER send you an email asking you to confirm your security details!

If you receive an email asking you to do this delete it immediately or forward it to phishing@then the company name and delete it afterwards.

It’s easy to keep yourself safe online but you have to be vigilant.  The simple fact is that no matter how good the security software and browser on your PC or Mac (Don’t think that Mac users are immune to Phishing attacks) the ONLY person who can ever keep you safe online is YOU!  The rule of thumb is to always be careful what you click on and what you grant permission to.  If you did not explicitly want to install something then don’t.
