Checking a link before you click it

Before you click a link in any message about your finance, check where it really goes. It takes ten seconds and stops most phishing dead.

Steps

  1. On a computer: hover your mouse over the link (don't click) and read the real address that appears at the bottom of the window.
  2. On a phone: press and hold the link until a preview of the destination appears.
  3. Compare: does it really go to credicorp.co.uk, or something close-but-wrong like credicorp-secure.net?
  4. When unsure: don't click. Type credicorp.co.uk yourself and sign in.

Good to know

Attackers rely on you not looking. The visible text of a link can say anything; only the real destination matters. See spotting phishing and recognising official communications.
