Phishing is a type of cyber attack where attackers try to steal sensitive information such as login credentials, credit card numbers, and personal data. Detecting phishing attacks is crucial for protecting yourself and your organization.

How to Detect Phishing Attacks

  1. Unusual Email Addresses: Be wary of emails from unusual or unfamiliar email addresses.
  2. Spelling and Grammar Errors: Phishing emails often contain spelling and grammar errors.
  3. Unexpected Requests: Be cautious of requests for sensitive information or money that you did not expect.
  4. Suspicious Links: Never click on links in emails unless you are sure of their legitimacy.
  5. Verify Before You Click: If you receive an email asking you to click on a link, visit the website directly instead of clicking on the link.
