As you navigate through the quiz, remember that the devil is often in the details.

These are all clues that can help you determine the authenticity of a login page.

By the end of this quiz, you'll have a better understanding of the tactics used by scammers and how to avoid falling victim to their tricks. Remember, staying safe online is about staying informed and vigilant.

If you punched in your details into any one of these bogus login pages, your bank details would've been sent directly to scammers. This is a relatively new malware called Octo and it's the latest offering from cybercriminals which can be privately purchased on the dark web.

Its creator is a shady figure (or figures) who call themselves the Architect or "goodluck".

The malware is powerful — it can record your calls, harvest your contacts, evade antivirus, bypass multi-factor authentication, log what you type and send you text messages. It can also perform what's known as overlay attacks, which is what happens when hackers superimpose a fake login page over an authentic app, like the ones above, to trick you into giving up your credentials.
