Protect Yourself from Email Phishing Scams Handout

Email phishing is a type of online scam where criminals impersonate legitimate people or organizations in order to steal sensitive information. It is one of the most common online threats, and artificial intelligence (AI) is making it easier for bad actors to generate fraudulent emails that look and feel like they are from a P.E.O. sister—they even use familiar P.E.O. terminology. These emails are malicious and are designed to get you to take action so they can steal data or financial resources or spread malicious software.

This handout outlines the signs of a phishing email and explains what to do if you receive one.
