Phishing Emails
Protect your RMS database from hoax emails.
|
Phishing emails are fraudulent emails sent by scammers impersonating a trustworthy business in an attempt to obtain sensitive information including usernames, passwords and credit card information. These scams operate by closely mimicking genuine business correspondence and will either directly request sensitive information or will provide a fake login link that will save any information you enter. | |
Key Points
|
 |
|
Usernames & passwords are a basic single-layer of security for protecting your database from unauthorised access. Clicking a fraudulent link in a phishing email and entering your login information makes it possible for the scammers to log into your RMS Database if there are no additional layers of security activated. Once inside these scammers can obtain sensitive information including guest and user contact information, create new Users and Security Profiles to increase their access to your database or send phishing emails impersonating you. Two Factor Authentication provides multiple layers of security. If a fraudulent link in a phishing email is clicked when using Two Factor Authentication and the scammers obtain your username and password they cannot access your RMS database without the verification code generated on the configured authenticator device. RMS provides a wide range of tools to enable customers to increase the protection on the sensitive data stored in their RMS Database.
