Determining if the Email is a Phishing Attack

Check the Sender’s Email Address:

Verify if the domain matches the legitimate source.

Look for slight misspellings or unusual characters.

Examine the Email Content:

Look for generic greetings (e.g., “Dear Customer”).

Check for spelling and grammatical errors.

Be wary of urgent or threatening language.

Inspect Links and Attachments:

Hover over links to see the actual URL.

Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments.

Contact the organization directly using official contact details.
