Always follow your organization's official security guidelines when you encounter vishing
If you think you have been targeted by vishing, please stop for a moment before proceeding to provide them with what they are asking for.
Verify the person is who they say they are and represent who they claim to represent.
Remember, your bank, hospital, police department, or any government department will never call you to ask you for your personal information over the telephone.
Beware of any phone numbers the caller gives you to confirm their identity. Look up the number yourself and call it using an alternative phone. Cybercriminals can route phone numbers and create fake numbers.
Do not respond to emails or social media messages that ask for your phone number. This is the first step in a targeted phishing/vishing attack. Report these emails/messages to the IT/support team.
