We often talk about phishing attacks in our newsletter and that's because we want our customers to always be thinking about whether they'll be caught high and dry by biting on the line too quickly. Don't get caught by a scammer dangling their baited phishing rod in front of you! But identifying phishing can be harder than you think. Phishing is an attempt to trick you into giving up your personal information by pretending to be someone you know or someone you trust. Can you tell what's fake? Have a go at the quick quiz below to see how you weigh up.. https://phishingquiz.withgoogle.com/ Keep an eye out for phishing rods by following these handy tips: Be sure to check out link URLs by hovering over them, and to pay close attention to the sender's email address. Spot the look-alike URL! It shows the insecure imitation domain. Double check the sender's email domain if it is misspelled and the link actually points to something suspicious. Phishing often tries to trick you with these look-alike URLs. Remember to be extra cautious if you aren't sure you know the sender. If you are unsure about a domain, you can use a search engine to find out more information about it. PDFs can contain malware or viruses — always be certain you trust the sender and if in doubt, use your browser or an online service such as Google Drive to open them safely. Carefully check the from address field if it is slightly different from what you've seen previously. Be careful when opening PDF's, especially if you don't expect them. It is important to be cautious with different kinds of account access requests, and to be sure you trust the developer. Read closely all information provided about the requesting service before you allow access!
