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.
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.
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.
