Always try not make a decision under these circumstances. 🔍Here are some ways to spot a phishing attempt: ⚠️ Verify the sender – Is the email address slightly off or unusual? ⚠️ Always look for urgency – “Act now or lose access!” is a red flag. ⚠️ Hover over links – Do they match the sender’s domain? ⚠️ Poor spelling or grammar – Often a sign of a fake. ⚠️ Unusual requests – Banks and companies will never ask for your password via email. 💡 Rule of thumb: When in doubt, don’t click.

Day 12. Email Security: Spotting the Red Flags 📧🚩 Email is the #1 tool for communication and also the #1 weapon for cyberattacks. From phishing scams to fake invoices and malicious attachments, email remains the easiest way for hackers to sneak into your world. The good news? With awareness, you can stop them cold. 💡 Common Email Red Flags: 🚨 Unknown senders claiming urgency “Act now or lose access!” 🚨 Suspicious links that look almost real (e.g., g00gle.com instead of google.com) 🚨 Unexpected attachments especially ZIP or EXE files. 🚨 Poor grammar or generic greetings “Dear user,” “Dear customer.” 🚨 Spoofed addresses appearing to come from your boss or bank. 🧠 How to Stay Safe: 1. Hover before you click, inspect links carefully. 2. Never download attachments from unknown senders. 3. Verify directly, contact the sender through official channels. 4. Enable spam filters and report phishing attempts. 5. Don’t reuse passwords, one breach can expose your inbox. 📬 Pro Tip: Think before you click.
