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. 

There is a sense of urgency 

• Phishing emails try to compromise your thinking by creating a sense of fear or urgency. This is why you see so many emails about losing account access, data and money. 
• Stay calm and verify if the email is real or fake before acting.
