Cybersecurity Awareness Month:
Phishy Friday: Spot the Signs of a Phishing Attack
- Unfamiliar Senders: Emails or messages from unknown or suspicious sources.
- Urgent Language: Phrases like "Act now!" or "Your account will be suspended!" are designed to provoke quick, careless action.
- Strange URLs: Hover over links before clicking. Phishing URLs often look similar to real ones but with subtle differences.
- Attachments: Unexpected files could carry malware that can infect your system.
If you think you’ve been targeted, don’t panic. Here’s what to do:
- Don’t click: Avoid clicking on any links or downloading files from suspicious messages.
- Report it: Notify your IT department or MSP immediately so they can investigate.
- Delete the message: Once reported, remove it from your inbox.
In the attached video, we’ll show you how easy it can be to fall victim to phishing attacks—and how to avoid them.
