Beware of government phishing scams

Whether you know it or not, you probably don’t go more than a day or two without getting some phishing email. An article by ZDNet describes a new phishing scam going on that is targeting governmental departments and their related business services. While this seems to be specifically targeted at governments around the globe, it is a good reminder to be extra vigilant when clicking on links in emails that purport to deal with a government agency. Because everyone has to deal with the government, this makes people more susceptible to clicking the links. Be wary and be sure to help educate those around you about the importance of being vigilant as part of your own personal cybersecurity.
