[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 1045893, member: 67091"] Trying to identify phishing by reading webpage or email content... can be misleading. Specially because modern phishing webpages/emails have perfect icons, texts, graphics etc. Not to mention that nowadays even ChatGPT is being used to write phishing texts. IMHO the best way to identify phishing is by mouse-hovering links = paying attention to web addresses. It's not a perfect method, but helps to identify 90% of phishing. Unfortunately this ZA test does not allow to do that with the links. The bad news is that (IMHO) I don't think Average Joe is able to identify phishing by text nor by checking the links. Most Average Joes are compulsive mouse-clickers, they click everything without reading. [/QUOTE]
