Keep an eye out for phishing scams 

Phishing scams occur when cyber criminals try to extract information, login credentials and even money from you by impersonating real people and organizations through email, phone calls, text messages, and social media. These may seem silly and obvious, but the fact is, they work. Over 93% of all malicious data breaches in an organization come from scams that target people. To support you, we would like to share some simple tips/advice to help you identify a phishing email. 

Check the domain name:

  • Double-check the domain name and sender name for all emails. 
  • Phishing emails usually have typos or extra characters that make it look close to a real name (e.g. of domain name; Facebok.com, Sharepoint-shares.io). 

Please contact the I.T. Support Centre if you experience any issues.
