Yoshi presented a thorough review of common phishing and spoofing techniques with recommendations on what to do. The key preventative action is to take no action. Don’t open or click on any unexpected files. Check with the sender using a different medium.
Use Multifactor Authentication or Passkeys to help prevent account takeovers.
Call a friend or younger relative or expert with more experience if not sure what to do.
Computer tools/AI are making it harder and harder to tell if emails, texts and phone calls are real. Double check every request before taking action.
