Avoid phishing

Phishing is becoming more and more common, but Dallas ISD’s cybersecurity team has some tips to help you avoid getting scammed: 

• Check the sender’s address carefully—attackers can use modified usernames or domains to look legitimate
• Hover over links before clicking to verify they lead to a trusted website. If anything looks off, don’t click
• Be cautious with emails that contain unexpected attachments or files, especially if you weren’t expecting the email.
• Watch for urgent or threatening language designed to make you act quickly without thinking. 
• Use the CyberNut Squirrel Button to report suspected phishing/SPAM emails.
