SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/aero-phishing-lookalike-link
What can reveal a phishing link?
A misspelled or lookalike web address.
- A misspelled domain ✔
- A normal bookmark
- A correctly printed date
Why: Attackers may copy a real organization's design while changing a letter in the web address. Inspect the destination carefully and use a trusted bookmark instead of a suspicious link.
Huh, didn't know that: Unexpected attachments and slightly wrong logos are other phishing clues.
The fake link lost the spelling bee and revealed its disguise.
