ATTACHMENTS:
- I see an attachment with a possibly dangerous file type. The only file type that is always safe to click on is a .TXT file. For example:
- Double extensions like - .TXT.EXE
- Most dangerous file extension - .EXE
- Others to watch for: .BAT, .HTML, .REG, .VBS, .ZIP, MSI
- Does the file attachment type make sense for what the message indicates. Example: voicemail (mp3 or wav) but a .HTML is attached instead.
- If you were not expecting an email with an attachment, or it is not the normal protocol for that sender, verify it directly with the sender before opening.
- Does the attachment prompt you to login and provide credentials?
