Phishing emails impersonate trusted senders - banks, Microsoft, suppliers or your own boss - to trick staff into clicking a fake login page, paying a fake invoice or sharing credentials. They often create urgency and use lookalike addresses and links.
Fake Microsoft 365 login pages
A common attack sends a 'your mailbox is full' or 'verify your account' email linking to a page that looks exactly like the Microsoft login - but steals the password. MFA and Safe Links help defend against this.
Invoice and supplier fraud
Attackers send fake invoices or change bank details on a real-looking supplier email. Always verify payment changes by phone using a known number.
CEO / boss fraud
A message appearing to come from the boss asks an employee to urgently buy gift cards or transfer money. Verify any unusual financial request directly.
How to protect your team
Train staff to check sender addresses and hover over links, enforce MFA, deploy email filtering, and make it safe to report suspicious messages.
