Taking a few seconds to check an email carefully can help you spot warning signs of phishing before you click, reply or download anything.
Check for:
Unexpected attachments
Urgent wording such as “Act now”
Misspelt company names
Unusual sender email addresses
Links that do not match the sender
Phishing emails remain one of the most common cyber threats and often rely on people reacting quickly without checking the details. A short pause to inspect the sender, wording and links can prevent stolen passwords, malware or financial loss.
