Organizations and individual employees are often perceived as easy targets for cybercriminals to attack via phishing emails – emails that are disguised to originate from a legitimate government institution or a bank. Receivers are often tricked by these disguised emails into clicking on a link that will prompt the reader for their personal information and bank account details. Here are some tips on how to detect a phishing email.

Phish Tips

It is likely to be a phishing email if it:

  1. Contains Spelling Errors / Is Poorly Written
  2. Asks for Personal Information
  3. Creates a Sense of Urgency
  4. Contains Suspicious Links / Attachments
  5. Has a Different Domain Name as Apparent Sender
