Recognise Phishing When You See It

Not so fast! You’ve just opened an email that doesn’t seem right.

Don’t act on it until you’ve checked for these seven suspicious signs to help you know for sure…

1 Sender – you didn’t expect it or know the sender
2 Address – the domain name after the @ looks odd
3 Spelling – typos and bad grammar
4 Pressure – it’s trying to make you act quickly
5 Hyperlinks – hover first to check them, they might not match-up
6 Attachment – if you’re not sure, don’t open it
7 External – if an ‘external sender’ banner is showing, be extra vigilant
