Another way is to lead them to a website that injects malware into the user\u2019s PC. All of these methods have the participation of the user, but these can all be prevented by practicing safe email habits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Here are some simple, easy-to-apply, but super practical and effective safe email habits: <\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t open emails from unknown senders and odd email addresses.\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are samples of actual email addresses that have been used to send Phishing emails: <\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>NjcfOxF-110hhYQ1R2wJ-noReply@xfbkt.pineengine.com<\/li>\n<li>OdqSdMn-110hhYQ20xgs-noReply@ogguzzbvrh.thaiyogamiami.com<\/li>\n<li>abbarMkdIJBl-110hhYQ4q4uH-noReply@nnhfvaiimv.mlatt.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always check the sender\u2019s email address for legitimacy. Most of the time, there are warning messages for malicious emails.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Savvier Phishing email hackers use email addresses that may be closer to the company they are trying to spoof or mimic:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>noreply@administrationservpaypal-a.tk<\/li>\n<li>Hotelscom@roktpowered.com<\/li>\n<li>BestBuyInfo@fashionlab.com.ua\n<ul>\n<li><strong>WARNINGS:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In order to make their emails look legitimate, scammers will most likely set the Sender Name to something similar to the site or company they are trying to spoof.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>For example, the email from noreply@administrationservpaypal-a.tk had \u201cservice@paypal.com\u201d as its Sender. So if the user did not take a closer look, they might be fooled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Some emails are made up of an image that\u2019s linked to a malware-injected or a Phishing website, so if the user decides to click anywhere on the email body, they\u2019ll be led to that website, without any alternatives. As the end user, better send the email straight to the Trash and Empty the Trash ASAP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t download or click on attachments from these types of emails.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always check if business and promotional emails, especially from financial institutions, are legitimate.
