As champions of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), we're kicking off our first week with a focus on email. Read on for facts and tips on email security from the National Cyber Security Alliance.

Across the world, 269 billion emails are sent every day. It's estimated that the average business user will receive 96 emails per day by 2019 (source: Radicati).

Given our reliance on the medium, it's no surprise that email is one of cybercriminals' favorite methods of attack. According to the National Cyber Security Alliance, 85 percent of U.S. organizations have experienced a phishing attack and 30 percent of people have opened a phishing email.

There are simple steps you can take to ensure that you don't become a victim of a cyberattack. Somewhat like a poker tell, suspicious emails contain hints that the sender isn't who they claim to be.

Watch this video to learn how to spot email scams.

The Facts About Email Scams

• Suspicious emails engage in "spoofing," a type of scam in which attackers impersonate a trustworthy entity to make it more likely that the recipient will open and act on the email.
• Spoofed emails typically employ one of two tactics:
  • Phishing, the attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and, indirectly, money) for malicious reasons.
  • Spreading malware by getting the user to open malicious email attachments or click on malicious links.

Practical Tips on Spotting Suspicious Emails

• Look carefully at the email and ask yourself the following questions:

• • Do you know or recognize the "from" address or contact's name?
  • Does the message contain incorrect grammar or misspelled words?
  • Does the message ask you to take action on something you didn't request, such as "click on this link to pick the new phone you requested"?

• If the answer to the first is no, or the answer to the second or third above is yes:
  

• • Don't click on links. Instead, hover your cursor over links to determine if the address is unknown, suspicious, or misleading: for example, www.microsoft.com.maliciousdomain.it. Don't open any attachments the email contains.
  • If you suspect a work email is a phishing attack, immediately report it to your IT administrator so they can alert your fellow coworkers of the attempted attack. If it's a personal email, most email service providers provide a mechanism to report that. Check out this example from Gmail.
