2. What is a phishing email? Phishing is a form of social engineering cyberattack where fake emails and web pages are used to access the victim's device or gather personal information. So an email that appears to be from a trustworthy source but is actually from a malicious sender is called a phishing email. Attackers imitate the identity of a legitimate entity in this attack, such as a real person the victim knows or would conduct business with. www.infosectrain.com | sales@infosectrain.com

3. Since so many emails are sent and received daily, it can be challenging to spot phishing emails. Therefore, this article discusses how to recognize a phishing email. • Ways to recognize a phishing email: • Below is a list of key signs of a phishing email: • The domain name is misspelled: Check the misspelled email address. Simply examine the email address; many phishing emails will appear to come from a well-known company, but the actual email address is unrelated to the one they are imitating. Remember that an email from a public domain, such as gmail.com or yahoo.com, is not necessarily an official email. • The email contains unusual links or attachments: Many attackers include links or attachments in their emails that you did not expect and that could contain viruses or redirect you to malicious websites. Therefore, you must be wary of any emails with unexpected attachments. • Unusual date and time: Since no legitimate individual or organization sends email during non-working hours or on holidays, you must look for the unusual date or time as well as the organization's regular business days or hours. www.infosectrain.com | sales@infosectrain.com

4. Name of the sender: Possibly, the sender might be a total stranger who sent you the email. • Unfamiliar salutation or greeting: In a phishing email, salutations are typically impersonal as well. • Email is trying to create a sense of urgency or threat: Examine the email's tone; if the sender is pressing you to click on the attachment or link, it is a big red flag. Any urgent or ominous subject line is a good sign that the email is a phishing scam. • The email includes many grammatical or spelling errors: Phishing emails frequently contain poorly written content that may be rife with grammatical mistakes or strange wording. Always keep in mind that a legitimate person or business will send well-written emails. Remember that attackers may impersonate legitimate organization logos to lead you to assume they are a reputable company; do not fall for this trick. • Asking for personal information: Keep in mind that legitimate businesses or organizations will not email you to ask for your personal information. • You can refer to: • https://youtu.be/LMi06a4QUc8 www.infosectrain.com | sales@infosectrain.com
