How do you spot phishing?

Phishing websites often share the same warning signs. Watch for these clues:

1. Suspicious URLs or senders – e.g., “paypa1.com” instead of “paypal.com”.
2. Odd design choices – low-resolution graphics or broken layouts.
3. Missing security – no https lock icon or invalid certificates.
4. Unexpected requests – prompts for passwords or banking data.
5. No contact details – nowhere to verify the organization.
6. Artificial urgency – a countdown or threat to rush you.
