š” FACT OF THE WEEK
Times are changing. Email is now the most common vector for malware, with approximately 35% of malware delivered via email. š§
Here are 3 quick-fire ways to check an emailās validity.
Inspect Email Addresses: Check for subtle misspellings or alterations in the senderās address, a common red flag.
Beware of Urgency: Emails urging immediate action or instilling fear, like āAct now!ā, āYour account has been compromisedā, or āYouāve been hacked!ā are suspect.
Question Attachments/Links: Be cautious with unexpected attachments or links. Hover to preview URLs; if odd, avoid them.
Keep your antivirus updated and verify questionable emails by contacting the sender directly.
Quit sending emails like a dinosaur.
