Hands up if someone has tried to phish you recently.  I will put my hand up with you.   In fact, there have been some pretty good ones that I have seen on my personal accounts.   You may have even found yourself thinking, "Yeah, there are people worrying about this, but we probably don’t have to."  Cyberattacks not only threaten customer data or a business’s bottom line – they also pose major threats to national security, economic stability and public safety.  Currently, the most common attack is phishing. A phishing attack is when hackers try to trick people into doing something.   Phishing scams can be delivered through a seemingly legitimate download, link, email or text message.  The difference between a normal email and one that's intended as spam can be difficult to spot.   A few telltale signs of a phishing email:  ➡️ An unfamiliar greeting.  ➡️ Grammar errors and misspelled words.  ➡️ Email addresses and domain names that don't match.  ➡️ Unusual content or request – these often involve a transfer of funds or requests for login credentials.  ➡️ Urgency – ACT NOW, IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED.  The term "spear phishing" refers specifically to when a hacker focuses on attacking one particular person rather than creating general purpose spam messages.  This could involve everything from stealing personal information (like passwords) right down to hack attempts at your companies' networks themselves.  Legitimate businesses will never request credit card information, social security numbers or passwords by email. They also won’t ask you to buy their gift cards to pay for products. If they do, it’s likely to be a scam.  If you spot any of these common signs of phishing emails, don’t interact with any links or attachments, and delete the email all together.   While you’re teaching your team what to look out for, take some time to teach your family members as well, especially the seniors.   #Phishing #Security #Cybersecurity
