How to stay safe from phishing

What's this blog post about?

Phishing attacks have become increasingly common and sophisticated in recent years, often involving the impersonation of popular brands and high-ranking individuals. To protect yourself from these scams, it's important to remain vigilant and look out for certain warning signs. These include requests for sensitive information or immediate action, poor grammar and sentence structure, and any offers that sound too good to be true. By following best practices for email security, such as using two-factor authentication and being cautious when clicking on links from unknown senders, you can significantly reduce your risk of falling victim to a phishing attack.
