You have been phished !

How do we protect ourselves from a phishing attack?

1 . Pay attention to the sender's address, usually using an e-mail address that is similar to the organization's address or the address of another trusted site related to the organization's activities.

2. Clicking on a link in suspicious emails should be completely avoided. You can stand with the cursor on the link (without clicking) and make sure that it does point to where it is indicated in the link itself. In this case, if you follow the link in the original message, you will see that it refers to another fictitious page and not to what appears in the body of the message.

3. Does the signature in the body of the email correspond to the signature accepted by the company? Attackers who have not previously been exposed to corporate e-mail messages will find it difficult to be precise in the signature details (both at the content level and at the design level).

4. Does the content of the message appear suspicious? Many phishing messages "warn" about the expiration of the user account in a particular system (for example, the mail account) and request an update of details, therefore personal information and passwords through the mail should be avoided.

Don't worry , this is just a test Next time, make sure you check all the signs, and stay protected.
