[SEL] Phishing

[Brian Taylor]

Hi Guys

Any email asking you to log in with id and password is supect if you did not request it.
I have installed "Spoofstick" and I instantly can double check that the address in the address bar is genuine or not. There are other ways to check this, but this utility is ace.

Please see below.

Here is some useful info related to PHISHING. You need to be aware that this exists.

Info from Cloudeight
Here's a free tool that we can recommend to you to help you avoid being sucked in by a phishing scam (although it should be the last line of defense because you should be relying on GOCS to protect you - see today's RANT ). It's called Spoof Stick and it's highly recommended by us and many others. It is a BHO (oh no! but it's a good and benign BHO - Browser Helper Object) that installs into Internet Explorer and verifies that the site you think you're on is really the site you're on - before you go typing in any personal data. You can read more about and/or download (it's free) Spoof Stick by clicking here.
