How to be safe from phishing sites

First thing you have to do is, always check the address bar of your browser and check whether you are in the correct address but you will see the same website like the original website, this kind of sites are created to get your username and password of social networks and info of credit card and online banking details.

If you are using internet in internet cafes or in any public places then you need to be very careful because hackers may changed the home page of the browser as phishing site so when  you try to open the browser it will open some social network sites by default but you will feel, real site was opened but it is not the real site, when you faced an experience like that then first of all check the address bar whether it has correct address then check the spelling of it, in there you will notice some spelling mistake but that you can't find it in your first look so make it sure, it is correct one. And another thing when you are using internet in a public place using private browsing option in your browser. Now a days you can find it in all browsers because it helps you to protect your privacy and clear your browsed history and cookies and saved password when your close it after using it.
