Phishing and Spoofing are two of the most prevalent types of cyber-attacks used by malicious actors against businesses and organizations today.

Spoofing involves impersonating legitimate email users, which can be accomplished through a Google search for basic information. It is crucial to exercise caution and carefully scrutinize the contents of all emails received.

Although a message may appear to be from a known sender, further investigation may reveal that the email was sent by a fraudster.

Below is what to do when you encounter an email:

  • Check the Sender's Domain/address and ensure it is coming from a valid email address.
  • Hover your mouse over the link to see where the link re-directs you.
  • If there is any doubt, get a second opinion before you click.

It is important to remain vigilant and emphasize the importance of ongoing education and awareness among team members to detect and prevent these types of attacks.
