1. Verify the sender: Be sure to check the sender‘s name and email address of a suspicious email as they often appear to be from someone you may trust, but in reality, are not.
2. Review the link: Look for odd or inaccurate URLs in the email by hovering over the link with your mouse to see where the link is directed. If you cannot tell from the URL, try typing the address into a search engine to see if it has been associated with a known scam.
3. Don‘t click on attachments: Do not click on any attachments as they often contain malicious code that can damage your computer or steal personal information.
4. Report: Contact your company‘s IT department and report any suspicious emails immediately.
5. Use two–factor authentication: Many websites offer two–factor authentication (2FA) which requires users to provide two pieces of evidence when logging in—such as a password and a mobile phone number. Enabling 2FA can help protect your accounts from being hacked by phishing attempts.
