EMAIL DEBRIEF

⚠️ THE 5 UNIVERSAL PHISHING RED FLAGS

  • 1
    Suspicious sender domain Real companies email from their own domain. @roblox.com is real; @r0blox-alert.com is fake. Always check the full address, not just the display name.
  • 2
    Extreme urgency + threats "Act within 2 hours or lose everything" is designed to stop you from thinking. Legitimate services give reasonable notice. Panic = the phisher's goal.
  • 3
    Links that go somewhere different The link text says one thing; the real URL goes somewhere else. Always hover to check. Go directly to websites — never click email links for sensitive actions.
  • 4
    Requests for passwords or payment No legitimate service will ever ask for your password by email. No real prize requires a payment to claim. If an email asks for credentials, it's a trap.
  • 5
    Something feels off Too good to be true? Wrong tone? Doesn't know your name? Generic greetings ("Dear Customer") when they should know you? Trust your gut — report it.

🔐 5 PASSWORD MASTERY PRINCIPLES

  • 1
    Length beats complexity Every extra character multiplies crack time by thousands. "correct horse battery staple" (28 chars) beats "P@ssw0rd!" (9 chars) by billions of years.
  • 2
    Unique password per site One reused password = all accounts exposed the moment any site gets breached. Use a password manager to generate and store unique passwords for every site.
  • 3
    Avoid dictionary words alone Attackers run "dictionary attacks" — billions of known words per second. Four random words together are safe; one common word alone is cracked instantly.
  • 4
    Enable 2-Factor Authentication Even the strongest password can be phished. 2FA means attackers need your phone too — a second lock on your digital door that stops 99% of account takeovers.
  • 5
    The passphrase technique wins Four random words (e.g. "tiger-lamp-castle-river") give 60+ bits of entropy, are easy to type, and survive quantum computing attacks projected for decades.
