Check whether you are sending the right information to the intended recipient(s) before sending e-mail and be aware of the e-mail \u2018history\u2019, particularly when forwarding an e-mail. Do not include business information in a private e-mail. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never open attachments or links in e-mails from unknown or suspicious sources or unexpected e-mails from known sources. Be careful with all messages that you receive, even if they come from trusted organizations, and don’t just click on links in those messages. Never reply to uninvited incoming e-mails (spam).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phishing e-mails are e-mails that are pretending to be genuine but are actually sent by (internet) criminals. The e-mails may appear to be from familiar organizations (e.g. your bank or from the IT-department) where you may be asked to supply your password, pin code or other personal information on a website. Don\u2019t share your personal data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/v7079fyb67r.c.updraftclone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png\")
