Phishing is a form of online identity theft where malicious actors attempt to trick users into entering sensitive information or downloading malicious software through deceptive emails or websites. To help protect yourself from phishing scams, it is important to:

1. Be cautious of unexpected emails, especially ones containing attachments or links.
2. Be suspicious if the email includes spelling or grammar mistakes, or requests personal information.
3. Evaluate all links for suspicious destinations before clicking them.
4. Ensure that any website you enter your information on is secure by looking for https:// in the URL.
5. Be careful downloading and installing software from unknown sources.
