 Disclaimer: This is a general overview, not comprehensive legal or technical advice. If you suspect a phishing breach, please click the big red button or call us for expert assistance.

Phishing emails trick employees into clicking malicious links or revealing sensitive data. Attackers often pose as trusted contacts or official institutions, making it vital to act quickly if you suspect a breach.


Immediate Steps:

  • Change Passwords: Promptly reset credentials for any compromised accounts.

  • Review Email Rules: Check for unauthorized forwarding rules or filters in your mailbox settings.

  • Scan Systems: Run anti-malware tools on devices that accessed suspicious links.

  • Notify Affected Parties: Alert internal staff and possibly clients if any data was leaked.

  • Enable MFA: Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication on all critical accounts.

  • Educate Staff: Provide urgent reminders about identifying suspicious emails and verifying sender legitimacy.

Phishing exploits human trust. By updating passwords, scanning for malware, and improving email security practices, you reduce the risk of further infiltration and protect valuable data.
