Email Phishing
Phishing is a process where the attacker will try and lift user data by pretending to be a trusted company. This can include login credentials and credit card numbers. This is one of the biggest threats circulating at the moment. They are becoming more believable and more devastating.
To prevent this, you should be suspicious of:
• Hyperlinks to websites
• Unofficial “From” addresses

• Email attachments
• Requests for sensitive information
• Generic “Dear User” emails
