Fake Websites - SPAM (Email Phishing)
Fake websites are one of the common ways that cyber criminals gain information about someone wether that their bank details or their general personal info (Medical, Family etc). The way this is done is by having a fake email sent to you pretending to be your bank saying that your account is at risk and that you need to change your password and when the user clicks on the link the site looks legit yet the URL is usually not even close to the legit site and once the users info is entered the hackers will send you to a change password within the legit bank site so they can learn the new password and then proceed to steal your money.
Downloading Fake Software
Downloading fake software is used when you download torrented files of word, powerpoint, photoshop, games etc. Backdoor vulnerabilities are usually left within these torrented files and that allows hackers to enter through those backdoors and alter with your PC.
