Receiving malicious emails is an alltime problem for users.
|
|
|
|
## Identify spam
|
|
|
|
Ask yourself these question to properly identify an email:
|
|
|
|
- Wording is odd: Does the mail contain grammatical errors or mispronounced names?
|
|
- Expectation: Do you expect this email?
|
|
- Link preview: Hover over the link and check its preview url. Does it seem right?
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
Kurt received this email:
|
|
|
|
![[Spam Mail Example.png]]
|
|
|
|
The sender was faked and on all terms it seems valid.
|
|
|
|
However, if you hover over the main button, a obscure link is shown:
|
|
|
|
![[Spam Mail hover link.png]]
|
|
|
|
Therefore this mail is spam.
