How to Spot a Phish:
- Email Address:
Do you recognize the email address? Never click on an email when it's an email address you don't recognize. Also, if the email comes from a public email domain it's a good idea to use caution no legitimate organization will send emails from a public email domain like gmail, yahoo, etc.
- Links and Attachments:
Never click on strange links or download strange attachments.
- Misspellings and Grammer:
Always keep a look out for any misspellings or grammar errors. Sometimes domain names will have typos, this is called typo squatting. Typo squatting is used to make the domain look as close to the legitimate domain as possible.
- Urgency:
if the message makes you feel a sense of urgency, makes you feel the need to act immediately this is done on purpose to make you act without thinking.
Education is key, learn to spot different phishing attacks and report them!
