Everything isn't Always What it Seems
A remarkable 1 in 25 branded emails is a phishing attack. Brands that have built a reputable reputation can be used as a weapon for those with ulterior motives. Just because the email says it is from Apple doesn't mean it came from Apple. Deception is a powerful agent; keep your eyes open and pay attention to the details. We suggest investigating the "From" line in an email and making sure it has come from the brand's official URL. #MID #ITsupport #cybersecurity Ever
