Tips for Detection
- Notice that the individual sending the meeting request is outside the organization.
- Financial offers out of the blue are generally too good to be true. Many phishing emails purport to offer you funds, but are instead ruses to gain financial information from you.
- Many phishing attempts utilize legitimate services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.
- If you’re not expecting a meeting link, use extra caution before clicking on the link.
