Think Before You ClickAlways inspect and don’t immediately open email attachments or click on links in unsolicited or suspicious-looking emails. Even if you know the sender or are waiting on a specific email, don’t immediately click on links or attachments. Cybercriminals have made it their job to construct fake emails that look legitimate. Some fake emails are so good; it can be easy to click on malware if you are rushing or don’t focus on taking the time to think before you click. To learn more about fraudulent emails, click here.
