How can I recognize a phishing email?
Check the actual sender, destination links, urgency, and unusual requests before acting.
Answer
Common warning signs include an unexpected sense of urgency, mismatched sender addresses, requests for passwords or payments, unfamiliar attachments, and links that do not match the organization named in the message. Verify sensitive requests using a known phone number or a separate communication channel rather than replying to the suspicious message.
