Here are some best practices to follow:

1. Scrutinize email sender addresses, subject lines, and content for suspicious elements like misspellings, urgent requests, or unexpected attachments.
2. Hover over links before clicking to verify the actual URL destination and avoid clicking on shortened or suspicious links.
3. Be cautious of emails requesting sensitive information or urgent action, especially those creating a sense of fear or urgency.
4. Use multi-factor authentication for accounts to add an extra layer of security even if credentials are compromised.
5. Report suspicious emails immediately using the organization’s designated reporting system, allowing IT teams to respond quickly to potential threats​
