Signs of Phishing

Phishing attempts come in many forms, from fake invoices and prize offers to urgent messages from someone who seems trustworthy.

Cybercriminals rely on human reactions — curiosity, helpfulness, fear, or the hope of a reward — to make you click before you think.

In this course, you’ll learn to recognize the most common tricks behind phishing emails and the subtle signs that give them away.
You’ll also learn what to do if something feels off — how to check if an email is genuine, and how to report suspicious messages so you can protect both yourself and your organization.
