If you receive a\u2064 suspicious email with a sense\u2063 of\u200d urgency, take the time to \u200dverify its authenticity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the sender\u2019s address.<\/strong> \u2062Malicious emails often \u200bappear\u200b to originate from familiar senders, but have subtle clues that give\u200d away the fact that they\u2019re not legitimate. Pay close attention to the sender\u2019s email address\u2063 to\u2062 look \u200bfor \u200bany irregularities.\u200d This \u200bincludes additional characters \u200dor \u2062symbols, slight variations of\u200d a legitimate\u2063 sender\u2019s address, or an\u2064 obvious\u2063 spoofed\u2063 domain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Look for suspicious attachments.<\/strong> \u200b Be wary of emails that \u2063include attachments, such as executable files. Cybercriminals know that users are often more inclined \u2064to open an attachment than\u2064 a link, so they will \u200bsend malicious \u2062files \u2064as part of a phishing email.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confirm any requests for \u2064personal information.<\/strong> Phishing emails often ask users\u2064 for \u200dpersonal\u200c information, such as\u200d passwords \u2064and credit card numbers.\u200c If you receive a suspicious email asking for this information, contact the \u200dsender directly\u2064 to verify its authenticity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By following\u200b these \u2064tips, \u200byou \u200ccan help protect your Office \u200b365 environment\u200d from phishing attacks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3-using-filters-to-block-phishing-emails-in-office-365\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Using_%E2%80%8CFilters_to%E2%80%8D_Block_Phishing_%E2%81%A3Emails_in_Office_365\"><\/span>3. Using \u200cFilters to\u200d Block Phishing \u2063Emails in Office 365<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For Office 365 users, one of\u2063 the most effective ways to protect \u2062themselves from email-borne \u2062phishing attacks is to use filters. Filters can help prevent malicious \u2062emails from reaching\u2062 your inbox, \u200dgiving\u2064 you a\u200b measure of protection against unwanted \u200bthreats. \u2064Here&#8217;s \u200bhow \u200cto set up filters and use them to block phishing\u2063 emails in Office 365:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the\u2064 Office 365 \u200dSecurity and Compliance\u2064 Center.<\/li>\n<li>Choose <b>Policies > \u2062Email filters<\/b>. <\/li>\n<li>Use the <b>Create a filter<\/b> button to set up a\u200b filter based on several \u2063criteria, such as behavior, subject, sender, or keywords. <\/li>\n<li>Set up <b>actions<\/b> to\u200b determine what should happen\u200c if a \u200bmessage matches the criteria for \u200cthe filter. <\/li>\n<li>Select <b>Save<\/b> to activate the filter. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Filters can also be used to action legitimate messages\u200b that would \u200dotherwise be blocked. For example, if you&#8217;re \u2062worried that\u2063 genuine correspondence \u2064with a foreign supplier\u2064 might be blocked, you can\u2064 set up a\u200c whitelist \u2063filter that allows those emails through your filter settings. This can be \u200cdone\u200c by setting the\u2062 filter to <b>Allow<\/b> \u200cinstead of <b>Reject<\/b> or <b>Quarantine<\/b>, and then creating \u200da filter that \u2063only allows emails from the supplier&#8217;s domain.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4-makein-office-365-for-safer-emailing-practices\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Makein%E2%80%8D_Office_365_for_Safer_Emailing_Practices\"><\/span>4.
