Mcafee has a phishing test of 10 questions, They say over 60% of the population cannot surf the net safely.. How are you at spotting fake websites and emails...

Take the test here....http://www.geek.com/mcafee-challenges-you-with-phishing-test/


I got 9/10 first time and that pretty much satisfies me, but I'm always on the lookout for the odd dodgy site or fake email, you should be too....

I got 8/10, which isn't bad considering I've never used online banking/loans and I don't tend to give out personal information.

Having said that, some of the websites looked very legitimate!

7 out of 10, ouch.
But, since I only use 2 out of the 10 sites & always use bookmarked links to them I'm not too fussed.
I'd say that I'd likely have gotten more if I was familiar with the other sites, & I expect that's true, but it wasn't really the point og the test was it.
It's the one that you don't know that gets you after all.
