What Steps Should Be Taken if a Phishing Attack is Suspected?
If a phishing attack is suspected, immediate actions should include:
Reporting the suspicious email to the appropriate authorities or the brand it purports to be from. Informing the email service provider to block and investigate the source of the phishing email. Scanning the device for malware if any attachments were opened or links clicked. Changing passwords and securing accounts that might have been compromised.
