Key Points
- Phishing emails look like they come from trusted organisations (banks, HMRC, Amazon, Royal Mail)
- They create urgency: ‘Your account will be closed’, ‘You have a parcel waiting’
- The link leads to a fake website designed to capture your login details
- McAfee WebAdvisor checks URLs in real time against McAfee’s database of 1 billion+ known phishing sites
- McAfee blocks the site with a red warning screen before you enter any information
- McAfee email scanning checks attachments for malware before you open them
- Always check the sender’s full email address — phishing often uses slight misspellings
- Never click a link in an email — go directly to the website by typing the URL
