3. Identify a phishing attack.

A phishing attack typically involves a malicious email that appears to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank or a well-known company, urging the recipient to click on a link or provide personal information. For example, an email might claim that there is an issue with the recipient's account and direct them to a fake website designed to steal their login credentials. Signs of a phishing attack include poor grammar, generic greetings, and mismatched URLs. Always verify the sender's email address and avoid clicking on suspicious links.
