Understanding Phishing
Phishing is when someone tries to trick you into sharing personal information or engaging with a site, email or message that is pretending to be legitimate.
What to do
- Pause and assess before interacting with any message or link.
- Check the "reply-to" email address, if its different report this.
- Check who sent it and verify through a trusted contact method.
- Look closely at the web address for spelling changes or unusual domains.
- Type web addresses yourself instead of using links in messages.
- Use the checker above when you are unsure about a link or email address.
What not to do
- Do not share personal information in response to unsolicited requests.
- Do not share your ObjectNow code with anyone.
- Do not click unknown links or open attachments from untrusted sources.
- Do not continue engaging with anyone who applies pressure or urgency.
- Do not trust sites that look similar but have different addresses.
