Cyber Security term 7: Click fraud

A click fraud is yet another malicious attempt to install a virus in your device. A click fraud is exactly how it sounds. Click, fraud. A click fraud is when you click on something that seems normal but isn’t. For example, you get an email from your friend.

But what you don’t know is that a virus has infected your friend’s device and now the virus is sending you an email. Not your friend. Once you click on it, congratulation! You just installed a virus on your device. If you want to see if it is a virus or not, copy it and paste it onto your notepad or something that you can zoom in and see each character to see if it is real or not.

For example, Amozon instead of Amazon. Using notepad or any other app that can zoom in you can tell if the link that your friend sent you is real or not.
