Lesson #10: The Dark Side of the Web -Internet Malware

This lesson was very educational
How to catch a Phish:

  1. Use your common sense when dealing with email-remember-there are no free lunches!

  2. Look for text, grammar, and links that seem odd or out of place


    • Words will be mispelled

    • The email will say "Dear Valued Customer" because phishing cons do not know your name



  3. Roll your mouse over all links to make sure the addresses are legitimate.

    • The URL will not match the supposed company that sent it do you
