Anti-Phishing Act

The Anti-Phishing Act is legislation aimed at preventing and combating online scams, where cybercriminals trick individuals into revealing personal or financial information through deceptive emails, websites, or messages. It establishes rules and penalties to deter fraudulent activities, encourages companies to implement security measures, and provides tools for authorities to investigate and prosecute offenders. The goal is to protect consumers and businesses from identity theft, financial loss, and data breaches caused by phishing attacks, promoting safer online environments through enforcement and awareness.
