Check the basics for
legitimacy. Are the email
address and sender's name
verifiable? If not, that's
your first spear phishing
red flag!
Does the email format match
what you typically receive
from the sender? If not,
take extra steps to verify
by calling the supposed
sender.
Even
if the email is legitimate,
be cautious of clicking
links or opening and
downloading attachments as
malware could always be a
risk.
