About Phishbate

Phishbate exists to help you spot scams before they hook you.

Every week, I break down the sneaky tactics used by phishers, scammers, and cyber crooks—so you, your family, or your business don’t take the bait.

I write practical, plain-English posts that cover:

• 👥 Real-world phishing attempts and how to spot the red flags

• 🏢 Breach breakdowns from small businesses to big names

• 🔐 Cybersecurity tips for individuals, business owners, and leaders

• ⚠️ Scam alerts, trends, and how-tos that keep you a step ahead

This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s empowerment.

Because once you know how the bait works, you stop being the fish.

You won’t find technical jargon or scary headlines here—just clear, calm, and useful advice designed to help real people.
