How to identify a phishing email?

A phishing email is an attempt by cyber criminals to obtain personal or sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card details, by posing as a trustworthy source. To identify a phishing email, you should examine the email address and sender details. The email may also contain spelling or grammatical errors, or it may seem overly urgent or demanding. Be wary of links and attachments in the email, especially if they are unexpected or seem too good to be true. Avoid giving out personal information, and contact the organization directly if you have any doubts about the authenticity of the email.
