Be mindful of scams when you’re responding to email, phone calls, and texts. Many major cybersecurity incidents start with a single malicious email.
What does spam and phishing look like?
- They create a sense of urgency or claim to need help.
- They are unexpected. You don’t recognize the phone number or email address, or the address looks odd.
- They ask for personal or financial info.
- They want you to download a file or click on a link.
Our email protection tools remove thousands of malicious emails from your inbox every week. Despite these defenses, malicious messages still get through.
