Don’t know how to spot a Phishing email?

If you don’t know how to spot a Phishing email, Phishlabs has an article with some tips. The title is: Top 10 Ways To Recognize a Phishing Email and maybe this should be shared too.

The item that is number 1 in this list is SUSPICIOUS LINKS. I’ve been getting so much spam for example claiming that I’ve won gift cards and money from all kinds of businesses. The email addresses are definitely a clue, but when I look at the links, they’re something else.

Second on this list is improper spelling or grammar. Now-a-days, actors in mhy opinion are getting better, but as we’ve illustrated in this email about the geek squad we’ve shown you that this has several issues including improper grammar when it comes to financial terms, as well as other flags that we’ve continuously talked about in the past.

The third item is SUSPICIOUS ATTACHMENTS. I am not personally seeing much of attachments, just tons of links. But they may still do this because they want to bypass filtering.

There are seven more, so Top 10 Ways To Recognize a Phishing Email is the article and I urge everyone to go and read it.

Something might jump at you that you never thought of. I hope that people share this, because it needs to be shared. Let’s start sharing the good stuff here.
