1. Check the URL.
Verify the URL of any link you receive. Look for spelling mistakes and ensure the URL includes “https://” to indicate a secure connection.
2. Search the URL.
​​​​​​​Use a trusted search engine to access the website directly if you’re unsure about a link.
3. Non-Secure Sites.
​​​​​​​Look for a padlock icon next to the URL. Click on it to check the site’s security certificates and settings.
4. Spelling and Grammar Errors.
​​​​​​​Watch for spelling, grammar, and design errors on the site, which can indicate a phishing attempt.
