Email phishing how to detect and prevent

First some basic info   

Email phishing is a type of fraud where cyber criminals send emails that appear to be from legitimate companies. The goal is to trick the target which can be you into sharing sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details, or personal data. Simply clicking on a link can provide them your IP address, browser and device info, timestamps and referrer info that's why its important to recognize them even the more difficult ones and then to report them to the correct site. If you for example think the site is legit and it will seem legit and you enter your personal info (login) they will have a lot more and that is exactly what we are trying to avoid! 

First step

Even though some can be difficult to spot many phishing emails will have grammatical errors or unusual sentence structures. Also be cautious if the email contains unexpected attachments or links. 

Second step

Carefully examine the sender's email address, and lets copy it. 

Go to a browser and type (website url soon) that is where you paste the email address and where you will get relevant information about the email address. Like how old it is, if is been used malicious activity and more. Especially when the email address is new then it can be a red flag.
