Quick Tip: Spot a Phishing Email If an email creates urgency (“Act now!” “Your account will be closed!”) and asks you to click a link or provide personal info—🚩 that’s a red flag. ✅ Always hover over links before clicking. If the URL looks odd or doesn’t match the sender, it’s likely phishing. When in doubt, don’t click—verify directly with the source. #PhishingAwareness #CyberSecurity #DataProtection #TechTips
