It is a wonderful opportunity to come before you all this day to discuss on an issue of great importance in the cryptospace.
I believe you are all doing perfectly fine and are enjoying your activities in the community by regularly making posts and being active in the community.

We have examined the effects of phishing links, how it is being strategized, it's consequences and the method of preventing them.
Today, we shall finalize our discussion by learning more ways in which we can avoid phishing links
PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST PHISHING LINKS
We have discussed about some preventive measures against phishing links in our previous post, however it is very important that we take full caution as to clicking links.
And at that, I have decided to come and give more light on preventive measures against phishing links, please stay tuned.
- USE TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA):
Another great preventive measure against phishing link is by making use of a 2FA authentication.
2FA authentication is an extra layer of security against phishing links to one's account.
When a user mistakenly clicks on a phishing link, the 2FA helps protect one's account from easily being hacked, rather an authentication code will be sent to the account owner, thus protecting the user's funds.
- UPDATED SECURITY SOFTWARE:
Another effective protection against phishing link is by making use of an updated security software or malware.
This malware helps to protect a user's device/wallet against phishing links, it detects phishing links and prevent it's access to a user's account.
The use of updated malware is very effective as it detects malicious links of any kind and nature, thus warning a user against it and safeguarding one's account.
- URL INSPECTION TOOL:
The use of url inspection tool is another very effective way to guard against the use of phishing links.
This tool helps a user to test the authenticity of a link before clicking, and when a link is detected to be fake, a user can then avoid such link and avoid clicking it.
CONCLUSION
It is very important to keep one's account by staying away from phishing links.
Phishing links have the ability to cause great and permanent harm, and as such we should avoid it.
