The importance of training your team to not fall for phishing

Teach your employees how to identify phishing emails by looking for some of the following signs:  

From: E-Fax098579@*yourdomain*.com <[email protected] 

Sent: Friday, December 24, 2021 10:20 PM  

To: ********    Subject: E-fax Received today Saturday, December 25, 2021.  

Who is it from?  When was it sent?  Were you expecting an E-Fax?  Were you expecting a letter from an attorney?  Were you expecting your boss to request Gift Cards?  

If you hover over the link, where would it take you?  

This email was a genuine attempt that a trained user identified.  It’s essential to understand how the criminals work and make sure that your employees feel comfortable reporting a mistake of clicking a link and providing their password.  

I believe that training is necessary to have a baseline of what to look for if an email gets through the other filters you have in place.  If you want advice on what to use just give me a call and we can talk about it.   We have offices in Summerville, SC just outside of Charleston, SC and Knoxville, TN
