Phishing is when scammers fool you into thinking they are
someone else in order to make you do something.
For example, they can steal your password by tricking you
to log into a fake website that looks exactly like your bank.
Phishing emails are most common but it's everywhere,
phone, text, and even social media.
Scammers can purchase Ads, register to dating sites,
and even use celebrity look-alike accounts.
So if you get an urgent email from your boss, a text message
from your bank, or see an amazing deal on Facebook,
take a moment, let the emotions settle down and read it out loud.
Does it make sense?
And always verify that you are talking to the correct person.
For example, someone can spoof your attorney's email
and send you fake wiring information,
so call and verify
Lastly, always check the email address and URL
for spelling mistakes.
and whenever you need to login,
it's better to manually type in the URL
instead of clicking on a link.
Now, if you do spot a phishing email never forward it to your friends,
you don't want to spread it even more.
Instead, share only the subject line with your IT team,
they will be able to locate it.
Meanwhile, just leave it alone
until they tell you what to do with it.
If your IT team has a different policy, follow it.
