Don't Get Phished!

Never trust an email-based simply by the sender email address. Hackers have many ways to disguise emails and “spoof” the “from” sender. A common type of spoofing uses a visible alias and cousin domains.

Attacks Are Becoming More Personal

Spear-phishing attacks can be very personalized from purported colleagues and are designed to evoke fear of consequences at work.

Phishing Links Can Be Sent via Attachment

04

All phishing emails contain a link, but it’s not always in the email. To avoid detection by email security filters, hackers will include a phishing link in an attachment, such as a PDF or Word doc, rather than the body of the email.

Email Addresses Can Be Spoofed

Brand logos and trademarks are no guarantee that an email is real. Brand images are public and can be downloaded from the internet or easily replicated.

Hover over all links before clicking them to see the pop-up that displays the link’s real destination. If it is not the website expected, it is probably a phishing attack.

A false promise, a quick reward, or a threat that you will lose something can create a sense of panic, urgency, or curiosity.
