Watch Out! Phishers And Hackers Are At Your Prowl With This Latest Distributed Message Purportedly From Adsense
Aside from
the gains that are often associated with the rocketing speed of modern
technological advancement, also come with it are lots of mischievous folks out
there that often take advantage those modern technological tools to prowl and harm
unsuspecting web users by breaking into their privacy.
Now, as an
Adsesne publisher, getting the quoted message below straight into your mailbox
will most likely and initially send fears running through your spine and make
you think you just broke Adsense golden rules;
“Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Google
Adsense, while reviewing your click activity we noticed too many invalid clicks
on your account..we have suspended payment on your account (ads will still show
on your website, but you won’t receive payment)
Click Here to Re-activate payment on
your account. Make sure to log in order to view or download the document
Sincerely,
The Google Adsense Team”
Now, if you
have also received this similar message, you should only know that phishers and
hackers are on your prowl and they are doing what they know best, and
therefore, you should not in any way fall into this deceptive mail by clicking
on the link part that reads Click Here
in the message.

Now, having
cleared your mind by letting you know that the above message is not directly
from the true Adsense Team but from potential hacker or phisher, if the message
is in your mailbox, either report it as spam or carefully delete it.
Adsense Team
will never send you a message like that, that will ask you to click to
activate, and most Adsense mails comes with “Regards” on the signature line and
not Sincerely.
Always play
and stay safe in all your online dealings by always watching out on security
threat messages similar to the one above.
Don’t always
rush to click on any links that you are not sure of; whenever you suspect any
malicious link that anchors a sugar coated text or action phrase, an easy rule
of thumb here is to right click on the link to view the source link, you might
end up knowing that it is a phishing link by doing so.
