Personalized phishing
A message can know your name, your job, or what you just posted, and still be a stranger
“Personalized phishing” is a CyberPlay video course of about 7 minutes, included with Individual Plus. A guide explains the topic and the video stops for five questions.
Learn why a message that knows your name, job or recent activity is not proof that the sender can be trusted. You will be able to check a surprising request on a path you already use, and know what to do if you already replied.
