Phishing emails are getting more complex all the time. As the stakes rise, cyber criminals are employing increasingly subtle techniques and messaging. Gone are the days when you simply had to turn down preposterous offers from royalty who had miraculously decided to become your unlikely benefactor.
The phishing email of today is designed to look as legitimate as possible. It will try to distract you from clues that give away its true intent by creating a sense of urgency. Typically they front as legitimate emails from familiar sources, sometimes even appearing to come from within your own organization.
Fortunately, once you know what to look for, these emails will be as easy to spot as those starting “I am a prince from [insert random country name here]…”
