> Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long do emails stay in my inbox?

What steps should I take if an email looks suspicious or questionable?

If you receive an email that doesn't seem right:

Don't click on anything inside the email. Including links and attachments.
Don't reply to the sender.
Report the email as phishing. (Watch the video above in the Resources section)
Delete the email.

If the email seems urgent and asks you to respond quickly, or take immediate action, STOP! This is a common tactic of cyber attacks.

NEVER reply or respond to information from the email. Over 90% of cyber attacks begin with emails. Instead, look up the information and start a brand new line of communication.
