Practical Network Scanning

Phishing protection

Phishing attack protection requires steps to be taken by both users and enterprises. For users, awareness is the key. A spoofed message often contains some mistakes that expose its true identity. These can include spelling mistakes or changes to domain names, as seen in the earlier URL example. Users should also stop and think about why they're even receiving such an email or phone call.

You should report such emails to authorities so that appropriate actions can be taken.
