Five ways to spot a phishing email by Kevin Wright.
I know none of my readers really need this sort of reminder/advice but its a good summary to pass onto others.
Kevin’s list reads (see his post for details):
- An odd from name/domain
- Spelling and grammar
- Over-the-top calls to action
- Mismatched and masked links
- A request for personal information
I am guessing from #2, Spelling and grammar, that Kevin hasn’t read many government reports or regulations. Few enough spelling errors but the grammar is atrocious. 
BTW, Kevin reports that the stats on phishing emails are grim:
Phishing emails are inexpensive to deploy, and a staggering 156 million are sent every day. Of these, 8 million are opened and 800,000 individuals click on the phishing links inside.
Or to update the alleged P.T. Barnum phrase, “There’s a sucker born every minute,” for the Internet Age:
There’s a sucker born every 0.108 seconds.
