We All Need to Be Aware of Phishing Emails








Phishing is a disgusting scam that is discussed in Chapter 17. The FBI's 2017 internet crime report identified over $675 million in losses from this type of cybercrime.








I hope most institutions have beefed up their security against these emails since the days when I used to regularly report emails to IT that my colleagues apparently ignored. My sense also is that my students were not very careful. Perhaps they were even gullible, especially to the "something for nothing" offers.

Whether you approach this subject from a personal perspective or from a business one, it is important. I think the updated information in this new post will be helpful. You could even use the Google test in class as an engagement device.
