Ans: It is a bit difficult to differentiate between real or malicious emails. However, you can easily spot a malicious email by noticing the following things: Check Sender's Emails: Make sure the sender of the email is legit and real. For Example: If you received an email from Apple, make sure the sender of that email is @apple.com and not something like @apple123, @apple-security and more. Check Greetings: If you received an email with greetings like 'Dear User', 'Dear Customer' and Dear Respected Customer, there are chances that this email is sent by a Cybercriminal. Yes, companies often greet people by their names. Check The Links Given In Email: Before you click on the link given in the mail, make sure to hover over the link and see the URL. If you receive an email from Apple and the URL shows that it will redirect you to downloadstorage.apple.com then you should not click on it. Apart from clicking on the links, make sure to scan attachment files before opening them or else your system will be infected by a virus or malware. There are multiple Antiviruses available on the internet that can be used to reduce the link of getting infected with malicious emails.
