Cyber Habit #2

Being extra careful about
attachments in email
#1

Fake links come in many forms. Sometimes they look like legitimate web URLs, but when you hover over them with your mouse, another URL is displayed. So even if a link in an email claims it will take you to amazon.com – hovering over it might reveal another URL, which is where you’re really going.
Sometimes web URLs or even the sender’s email address have tiny errors in them. It could be Amaz0n.com or even amason.com – simply to trick you into trusting that the email is legitimate and that you have nothing to worry about.
