There are several ways to tell if a link you’ve stumbled upon is suspicious: · Hover over the link. The attackers often lure users with links that appear like a legitimate website, for example, www.youtube.com, but then redirect them to an entirely different place. You can simply check a suspicious link by hovering over it with your mouse. There should be a small box telling you where the link will take you. · It’s asking for private information. If a specific financial institution sends you an email and provides a link to enter your personal information, always double-check or call the company to verify link validity. · Blacklisted domains. You can check for links with blacklisted domains on the websites we provided in the “Link Scanning” section. · URL with spammy phrases. If you see words such as “online dating,” “please help,” “extra income,” “donate,” and such, feel free to mark those as spam.
