Phishing emails are big business..  46% of UK Businesses had security breaches in 2017, of these 72% were related to staff receiving fraudulent emails.
A phishing email is an email that tricks one of your team into doing something that puts your business at risk , like:

• Opening a dangerous attachment

• Clicking a link
• Sharing sensitive information
• Transferring money.
• Sending products

We have 2 simple rules to avoid being phished:

1. If you get an email that looks wrong, check it by drafting a reply (see below)
2. The first time you send funds to a new bank account,  get a known person at the supplier  to confirm of their bank details (even if your CEO has sent the request!)
