A Plesz PSA about phishing

I'll break it down for you. 

If it's unexpected, suspect it. 

That's my motto. I should trademark it.

If you get an email that wants you to click a link or open a file or complete a form, it's not going to end well if you fall for it.

If there's a doubting voice in your head that insists, "But what if it's real?", verify via alternate means. That means contact using a phone number or email using an address or number NOT included in the phishing message.

Don't reply. Don't engage. Don't click. Don't download.

In the immortal words of Admiral Ackbar................... "IT'S A TRAP!!"
