A phishing email almost cost me a client's trust.

Last Tuesday, I opened an email that looked exactly like a message from one of my clients. It asked for login details to update their service account, but the link went to a weird site. What's the best way to check if an email is real without bothering the sender?

My friend's Instagram got hacked from a phishing link.

Does it seem like these fake messages are popping up more often? I get texts pretending to be from my bank and emails about packages I never ordered. It's made me double check everything now. For emails, I always look at the full sender address, not just the name. If I'm unsure, I'll find the company's contact info myself and call them. Taking that extra step avoids a lot of headaches.
