The inbox opens, showing emails; one message has a subtle warning icon. First, notice the sender address: it mimics a trusted domain but contains slight misspellings. Next, read the subject line; urgent language like ‘Immediate action required’ often signals phishing. Then, hover the link to see the real URL and verify any unexpected attachment. Finally, pause, inspect, and report the email to IT. Remember: when in doubt, do not click; report it. Remember the three warning signs: a misspelled sender address, urgent subject lines, and suspicious links or attachments. Spot it. Stop it. Report it.
