Don’t Get Hooked: How to Spot a Phishing Email

Phishing emails are among the most common cyber threats, targeting users with fake messages that look legitimate — often pretending to be from banks, tech companies, or even your boss.

🚨 Common Red Flags in Phishing Emails:

  1. Urgency or threats: “Your account will be locked in 24 hours!”
  2. Spelling and grammar errors
  3. Mismatched URLs: Hover over links before clicking.
  4. Unusual attachments or login requests
  5. Sender’s email doesn’t match the organization

What You Should Do:

  1. Never click suspicious links
  2. Verify with the sender directly
  3. Report the email to your IT/security team
  4. Use MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) to secure access

🔐 Stay Smart, Stay Safe!

Cyber attackers don’t need your password — they just need one click. Stay alert and share this with your team!
