Heres some tops tips from NIS in keeping your Data safe.
Tip 1
Look at the email address first is it correct? Check for spelling mistakes and inconsistencies. Read your emails carefully and report anything that might seem suspicious.
Tip 2
Analyse the saluation. Is the email addresses to a vague ‘ valued customer’. Watch out for any email coming from an unknown source that you are not used to receiving.
Tip 3
Do not give out personal information. Legitimate banks and other companies will never ask for personal credentials via email. Do not give them out.
Tip 4
Review the signature. Lack of details about the signer or how you can contact the company strongly can suggest a Phish. Legitimate businesses always provide contact details.
Tip 5
Beware of ‘urgent’ or threatening language in the subject line, trying to invoke an urgency on the email. This is a common tactic used. Be aware of subject lines that claim your ‘ account is being suspended’ or your account had an ‘unauthorised login attempt’
