Dear Team

Use the Help Tips on SoSafe Phishing-Reporting

Important Safe Tips!

Always double or triple check emails coming from Top Management and Senior Positions in the organisation. These users are more vulnerable to be used for attacks.
Always double or triple check source when the email requests unusual things. (Ex: change in bank account details, urgent payment, request your personal credentials, etc)
Never share/submit your personal credentials in unfamiliar content
Never approve or share unauthorised/unfamiliar MFA codes or prompts.
Always check the From: field. Although the description may seem genuine. Ex: Microsoft email will always be sent from a known Microsoft domain – @microsoft.com.
Always take note of the Caution message highlighted in red box on top of an email. If you receive email from a Hudson colleague and you have this highlighted, it means that the sender is not genuine.
