Infographic describing the zero-trust approach to prevent you for falling from phishing emails. Step 1: Verify the Sender Check the sender's email address for inconsistencies (e.g., @secure-payments.com instead of @paypal.com). Be cautious of spoofed addresses that look similar to legitimate ones. Step 2: Inspect Links and Attachments Hover over links to verify their destination before clicking. Avoid downloading attachments unless you are expecting them and know the sender. Step 3: Recognize Red Flags Look for generic greetings (e.g., "Dear Customer") and grammatical errors. Be wary of emails that create urgency, such as warnings about account suspension or winning a prize. Step 4: Never Share Sensitive Information Legitimate organizations will not ask for personal details, passwords, or payment information via email. Avoid responding to emails requesting confidential data. Step 5: Use Email Security Features Enable spam filtering and phishing detection in your email client. Flag suspicious emails as phishing and delete them immediately. Step 6: Stay Educated About Phishing Tactics Learn about common phishing scams like fake invoices, account recovery requests, or prize notifications. Familiarize yourself with legitimate communication practices of companies you interact with.
