Recognizing Phishing
Spot malicious emails.
What Is Phishing
Phishing is a fraudulent message that tricks you into revealing information, clicking a malicious link, or opening a harmful attachment.
Most phishing arrives by email, the most common entry point for cyberattacks.
Check the Sender Address
Always inspect the real sender address, not just the display name.
Attackers use look-alike domains that are easy to miss at a glance.
