clicking a phishing email can make you feel sick
By Jon Lober October 28, 2024
Just a quick refresher— what is email phishing? Phishing is a type of cyberattack where attackers try to trick you into giving away sensitive information—like passwords, credit card numbers, or even access to your business’s network— by pretending to be someone you trust . These emails often look like they’re from legitimate companies, like your bank, a well-known retailer, or even someone within your own organization. The goal? To get you to click on a malicious link or download an attachment that can compromise your system. Sometimes, the emails are obvious fakes, but other times, they can be extremely convincing, making it crucial to stay vigilant.
