How often do you find yourself juggling a million things at once? Multitasking has become the norm in today's world. But here's a secret: when it comes to email, especially with sneaky phishing attacks on the rise, being too distracted can make you more vulnerable.
Those clever phishing emails are designed to look legitimate and create a sense of urgency. If you're stressed, rushing, or just not giving your full attention to an email, you're much more likely to miss those tell-tale red flags - a weird sender address, a slightly off logo, or a suspicious link. Even the most tech-savvy folks can fall for a well-crafted phishing scam when they're trying to do too many things at once.
The solution is simpler than you might think: dedicate specific time to your inbox and eliminate distractions.
Pick a few specific times each day (e.g., 9 AM, 1 PM, 4 PM) when you only focus on your email. Close other tabs, silence other alerts, and give your inbox your full, undivided attention. This allows you to carefully read emails, spot anything suspicious, and respond thoughtfully.
