    What is phishing?

    A phishing email is a type of scam email that is designed to trick the recipient into divulging
    sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, or other personal
    information. These emails often look like they come from a legitimate source, such as a bank,
    social media platform, IT and / or IT security teams or online retailer, but in reality, they are sent
    by cybercriminals who are attempting to steal the recipient's personal information or gain
    unauthorized access to their accounts.
    Learn to spot phishing emails

    Phishing emails may use a variety of tactics to trick the recipient into providing their
    information, including creating a sense of urgency, using a convincing email address or logo, and
    including a link to a fake website that looks like the legitimate one.
    How do we stop getting phished?

    To avoid falling victim to a phishing scam, it is important to be vigilant when opening emails from
    unknown sources, never provide personal information in response to an email, and always verify
    the legitimacy of a website before entering any sensitive information.
