Phishing is a type of social engineering that attempts to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity. It continues to be the leading technique used by criminals to access information systems. Below you will find a list of “red flags” you can use to identify a phishing email. If you identify a potential phishing email, use the new Phish Alert Button to report it. The emails you report are sent to Cybersecurity for analysis allowing MGA to respond to phishing attacks.
