Use free tools such as <a href=\"https:\/\/global.sitesafety.trendmicro.com\/\">URL safety checks<\/a> from reputable threat protection services.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"rte-red-bullet\">For enterprises, train all employees in information security awareness. <a href=\"https:\/\/phishinsight.trendmicro.com\/\">Phish Insight<\/a> empowers employees by training them to know where to look, what to look at, and how to look at it. It provides the most effective phishing simulations and cybersecurity awareness training modules on the market. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"rte-red-bullet\">Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/business\/products\/user-protection.html\">enterprise<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/forHome\/products.html\">home<\/a> solutions that have maximum security to help thwart phishing and other threats. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"tag--list\">\n<p>Tags<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p> <\/main> <\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>   <\/p>\n<p> <span>sXpIBdPeKzI9PC2p0SWMpUSM2NSxWzPyXTMLlbXmYa0R20xk<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>   <\/body> Read More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/research\/21\/f\/trend-micro-and-jc3-study-on-fraud-phishing-targeting-japanese-u.html\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog details the aspects of two major phishing fraud groups identified from the research and analysis.
