What is a phishing email and how do I recognize it?

Phishing emails are deceitful attempts by malicious entities to trick you into revealing sensitive information, like login credentials or personal data. They often imitate legitimate companies or services. To recognize them, look for misspelled URLs, generic greetings, requests for sensitive information, or unexpected attachments. Always double-check the sender’s email address and be wary of any email that urges immediate action.

Good to Know: It’s always safer to manually type the known URL of a service into your browser rather than clicking on a link from an email.
