Follow these best practices to protect yourself from phishing attacks. 1) When visiting a website, type the address directly into the browser rather than following a link from an unsolicited email. 2) Only provide personal information on sites that have "https" in the web address or have a lock icon at bottom of the browser. 3) Do not provide personal information to any unsolicited requests for information. 4) Confirm authenticity of a Web site with an internet product such as Norton Internet Security
