- The email from your "bank" saying your account is suspended.
- The WhatsApp message saying you've won a prize.
- The random link asking you to download something before you can view content.
These are carefully designed traps and they work because they make you act before you think.
3 Things to Do Before You Click Anything.
- Hover before you click Check the actual URL at the bottom of your screen. If it looks suspicious, don't click.
- Check the sender's domain Legitimate companies don't send official emails from Gmail or Yahoo addresses.
- When in doubt, go directly Type the website into your browser yourself instead of clicking the link.
Awareness is your strongest line of defence. You don't need to be an IT expert you just need to slow down before you click.
