Construction #1 for phishing risk

6/26/2019

0 Comments

 
Yikes!  Out of 19 industries, construction industry workers are the MOST likely to click on "phishing" emails (those fake emails that try to fool you into giving information or click on links to bad websites).  Be careful out there and spread the word to your staff! 
Some tips to protect yourself: 
  1. Hover mouse over links (or on mobile, long-press links) to see where the link is trying to send you
  2. Look very carefully at sender email address. You can try hit Reply (without sending of course) to reveal the sender's full email address.
  3. When someone is emailing asking you to do something risky like transfer money, pick up the phone and call them to confirm.
