IT Tech Tip: Think Before You Click — Even If It Looks Familiar

Cybercriminals are getting better at making emails look legitimate, even when they’re not. Some messages may appear to come from a coworker, vendor, or leadership — but one wrong click can put company data at risk.

🚩 Quick Red Flags to Watch For:

• Unexpected attachments or links
• Urgent language like “Act now” or “Immediate action required”
• Requests for passwords, MFA codes, or payment details
• Slight misspellings in email addresses or links
   

✅ What You Should Do:

• Pause and verify before clicking links or opening attachments
• Hover over links to confirm where they really go
• Use the Helpdesk to assist you with confirmation of domain and email addresses. REPORT to IT to flag suspicious emails.
• When in doubt — don’t click it, report it

Your awareness is one of the strongest defenses we have against phishing, ransomware, and email fraud. Thank you for helping keep our systems and data secure!
