Find Out What Threats Are Lurking in Your Office 365 Email

Hello everyone,

I think that things to make our lives easier is going to be a good thing, especially in the software field. When I saw Find Out What Threats Are Lurking in Your Office 365 Email it does not surprise me as a problem only because E-mail is involved. As long as E-mail is in it, it is always going to be a threat. We can protect ourselves by running scanners if available, and good old common sense.

• Don’t open anything you are not expecting, even if it is from a known sender.
• If you are expecting something, but the message looks suspicious, feel free to write the sender back for clarification. I’ve done this when resume’s for potential job applicants did not open, even though I did not publish any job postings within the network. I never got a mailback when telling them I could not open the file and to resend it.
• If it is a known sender, know the writing patterns and know if they tell you whats attached to any type of E-mail.
• If you are expecting a package, go to the trusted carrier site or amazon to verify any type of issues or status. I would never open any attachment indicating that there was a problem on the date it was sent, especially if I was not expecting any package.

You will always want to make sure you’re going to trusted sites, and thats harder to do now since any site can be hacked, even ones you trust. Please be careful out there.
