ADVICE

Avoid Clicking Email Links

  • Don't click on links in emails unless you are absolutely certain of the sender's trustworthiness.
  • If you suspect legitimacy, type the website address yourself instead of using the email link.
INSIGHT

Phishing Using Legit Google Domains

  • Phishers exploited Google's legitimate domain and email forwarding to send convincing fake security alerts.
  • Google validates message headers but not forwarded envelopes, allowing phishing emails to appear authentic.
ADVICE

Be Extra Careful With Urgent Emails

  • Always scrutinize urgent emails about legal or account issues closely before reacting.
  • Never click links in such emails; visit websites directly through bookmarks or typing URLs.
