Cyber attacks are on the rise and it’s everyone’s job to protect from unwanted attacks. One of the most common cyber attacks is Phishing Emails.

A few tips to ensure email security:
- You need to carefully look at every one of your emails to ensure it’s something you should open or a link you should click on. If you are not expecting an email from someone, chances are it’s a phishing email.
- Any email you receive like this should be marked as junk. Simply right click the message, select junk, then block sender. If you need help with this, ask your manager.
- Please stay vigilant and report anything suspicious. See something, say something.
Another recent twist to an old scam is when company’s email a phony invoice showing that you’ve recently bought music or apps from them. The email tells you to click on a link if you did not authorize the purchase. Stop – do not click on the link.
You can report phishing emails and texts by forwarding them to spam@uce.gov.
