Spoofing

Spoofing refers to disguising one's email address, caller ID, or a similar display name. Using this, a scammer could make it look like:

• your bank sent you an email
• a hospital is giving you a phone call
• your boss sent you a message

Remember the following to keep yourself cybersafe:

• if you get a suspicious work email... you can confirm with your coworker directly
• if it's just a suspicious email... check for signs of phishing, e.g. typos, pressure to do something urgently, asking for your password, etc.
• if you get a suspicious call from someone you know... hang up and call that person directly to verify
