Hi Team,

In our ongoing mission to protect our organization from cyber threats, we need your help to stay vigilant against phishing emails. These fraudulent messages can appear very convincing, but they’re designed to trick you into installing malware or sharing sensitive information.

Example of Phishing Email

Let’s take a look at a common type of phishing email:

• Malicious Attachment: The email may include an attachment with a suspicious file extension, such as .7z, which is often used to deliver malware.
• Malicious Link: The message may contain a hyperlink disguised as a legitimate link, leading to a harmful website. Hovering over the link usually reveals its true, suspicious URL.

How to Stay Safe:

• Be cautious with unexpected emails, especially those with attachments or links.
• Check the sender’s email address for any inconsistencies.
• Report suspicious emails to IT immediately.

While we have Sophos protection in place, your awareness is key. Make sure your Sophos protection is up to date to keep your devices secure.

Best regards,
SecOps Team
