Phishing remains the most common way attackers get into business systems — not because it's technically sophisticated, but because it targets human trust.
What Phishing Looks Like
A phishing message impersonates a trusted source — your bank, a vendor, or even a colleague — trying to trick you into clicking a malicious link, entering credentials on a fake login page, or opening an infected attachment.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Urgency ("act now or your account will be suspended"), unexpected requests for sensitive information, mismatched sender addresses, generic greetings from services that normally use your name, and links that don't match the text they're attached to are all classic red flags.
Before You Click
Hover over links to preview the actual destination URL. If anything feels off, go directly to the official website by typing the address yourself rather than clicking the link in the message.
Verify Through a Separate Channel
If an email claims to be from a colleague or vendor asking for something unusual (like a payment change), confirm by phone or a separate message thread before acting.
If You've Already Clicked
Change any passwords you may have entered immediately, enable 2FA if you haven't already, and monitor the affected account for unusual activity over the following days.
