Bad guys are getting better and better at tricking people into giving up their personal information. Here's a very good one. It looks to be from AT&T but let's take a closer look…



Even the usual first trick of looking to see who it's really from doesn't help. Notice the email legitimately does look to be from @att.com.



But when you hover your mouse over the link they'd like you to click on, then you can start to see a little more suspicious clue…



Notice the URL is misspelled? Now let's see where this takes us when we click on it…



The site looks legit but note the same misspelled URL in the bar. This site has been set up so that you'll be tricked into entering your username and password. The major lesson to be learned here is to not trust links provided in email. No matter how legit it looks. If you are actually concerned about an email you received, type the link to the website in manually. As we see in this example, clicking the link doesn't do anything harmful. It's what you do once you land on the site. If you are actually expecting an email from a friend or company…that may be a little safer. But if the email is random and asking you to go sign in somewhere…Sheilds up!
