Email Security Best Practices - EN

Do not open email attachments with file extensions like .exe, .scr, or .bat as they could contain viruses. Do not click on embedded links without checking the URL first and do not respond to spam emails. Always validate the sender by checking the "From" field, report suspicious emails, and be wary of double-file extensions and fake domain names that resemble Microsoft's.

DO NOT open any email attachments that end with:

.exe, .scr, .bat, .com, or other executable


files you do not recognize.
DO NOT ever click embedded links in messages
without hovering your mouse over them
first to check the URL.

DO NOT “unsubscribe” - it is easier to delete the


e-mail than to deal with the security risks. DO NOT respond or reply to spam in any way. Use
the delete button.

Email Security Best Practices

ALWAYS check the email ‘From’ field to validate the


sender. This ‘From’ address may be spoofed. ALWAYS report all suspicious emails to your
Information Technology help desk.

ALWAYS check for so-called ‘double-extended’ scam


attachments. A text file named ‘safe.txt’ is
safe, but a file called ‘safe.txt.exe’ is not.
ALWAYS note that www.microsoft.com and
www.support.microsoft.software.com are
two different domains. (and only the first is real)
