The Email That Haunts You

Not every scary story starts with a ghost.
Some start with one innocent-looking email.

Phishing emails are designed to look familiar, sound urgent, and trick users into taking action before they have time to think.

Before you click, watch out for these 5 warning signs:

1. Urgent Requests
Messages that pressure you to act immediately or claim that something requires your immediate attention.

2. Suspicious Links
Links that lead to unfamiliar, misleading, or unexpected websites.

3. Unexpected Attachments
Files you were not expecting may contain malicious content or malware.

4. Fake Senders or Domains
A familiar display name does not always mean the email comes from a legitimate sender. Always check the actual email address and domain.

5. Requests for Sensitive Information
Be cautious when an email asks for passwords, financial information, credentials, or other confidential data.

It may look familiar.
It may sound urgent.
But is it real?

STOP. CHECK. THINK. Before You Click.

Because sometimes, one click is all it takes to open the door to a cyber threat.

Stay alert. Stay secure.
