What is a phishing email? Phishing is a form of
social engineering cyberattack where fake emails
and web pages are used to access the victim's
device or gather personal information. So an
email that appears to be from a trustworthy
source but is actually from a malicious sender is
called a phishing email. Attackers imitate the
identity of a legitimate entity in this attack,
such as a real person the victim knows or would
conduct business with.

• Since so many emails are sent and received daily,
  it can be challenging to spot phishing emails.
  Therefore, this article discusses how to
  recognize a phishing email.
• Ways to recognize a phishing email
• Below is a list of key signs of a phishing email
• The domain name is misspelled Check the
  misspelled email address. Simply examine the
  email address many phishing emails will appear
  to come from a well-known company, but the actual
  email address is unrelated to the one they are
  imitating. Remember that an email from a public
  domain, such as gmail.com or yahoo.com, is not
  necessarily an official email.
• The email contains unusual links or
  attachments Many attackers include links or
  attachments in their emails that you did not
  expect and that could contain viruses or redirect
  you to malicious websites. Therefore, you must be
  wary of any emails with unexpected attachments.
• Unusual date and time Since no legitimate
  individual or organization sends email during
  non-working hours or on holidays, you must look
  for the unusual date or time as well as the
  organization's regular business days or hours.
•  Name of the sender Possibly, the sender might
  be a total stranger who sent you the email.

•  Unfamiliar salutation or greeting In a phishing
  email, salutations are typically impersonal as
  well.
• Email is trying to create a sense of urgency or
  threat Examine the email's tone if the sender
  is pressing you to click on the attachment or
  link, it is a big red flag. Any urgent or ominous
  subject line is a good sign that the email is a
  phishing scam.
• The email includes many grammatical or spelling
  errors Phishing emails frequently contain poorly
  written content that may be rife with grammatical
  mistakes or strange wording. Always keep in mind
  that a legitimate person or business will send
  well-written emails. Remember that attackers may
  impersonate legitimate organization logos to lead
  you to assume they are a reputable company do
  not fall for this trick.
• Asking for personal information Keep in mind
  that legitimate businesses or organizations will
  not email you to ask for your personal
  information.
