Cybersecurity Tip: Never Open Suspicious Attachments—They Could Be a Gateway to Malware
WAIT! Before you open that attachment, ask yourself a few important questions: Do you know the sender? If it’s from someone you don’t recognize, be cautious. Is the sender’s email address correct? Hackers often use email addresses that look similar to legitimate ones but with small, subtle differences. Is the attachment suspicious? Files like .exe, .zip, .scr, and others are common carriers of malware. Were you expecting this? If the attachment is unexpected or out of the blue, it's a red flag. NEVER OPEN A SUSPICIOUS ATTACHMENT! Hackers often use attachments as a way to deliver malware, ransomware, or spyware to your device. One wrong click can lead to data theft, loss, or a compromised system. Stay Safe Online! Always double-check before you open attachments, especially if they seem out of place. If you have any doubts, contact the sender directly through another method (like a phone call or separate email) to confirm before opening any files.
