Strengthen Your Team’s Cybersecurity Awareness
In today’s rapidly evolving digital environment, cybersecurity threats are more sophisticated than ever. At HCST, we believe that informed employees are one of the strongest defenses against cyberattacks.
That’s why we now offer comprehensive cybersecurity training programs tailored to your team’s needs. These sessions are designed to:
- Increase employee awareness of phishing, malware, and other common threats
- Support compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements
- Reduce risk by promoting best practices in data security and safe online behavior
Scamming Example
⚠️ This is a Scam Email — Here’s Why:
- Suspicious Email Address
- The email is from [email protected], which is not a legitimate PayPal domain. Real PayPal emails come from addresses like @paypal.com, not Outlook or Gmail.
- Urgent Language
- Phrases like “Response required” and urgent warnings about account issues are classic tactics used by scammers to create panic and trick you into clicking links without thinking.
- Poor Grammar or Awkward Phrasing
- Scammers often make subtle grammar or tone mistakes. Phrases like “we emailed you a little while ago” and “see what you can and can’t do” sound slightly off for a professional company like PayPal.
- Unusual Login Request
- The email urges you to click a link to log in. Legitimate companies like PayPal will tell you to log in by manually visiting their website, not through embedded email links.
- Generic Greeting
- It says “Dear [blurred name]” (or possibly no name at all). Real PayPal emails use your full legal name, not generic or blurred placeholders.
- Hidden or Fake Links
- Links that say “log in” or “Resolution Center” may redirect to a fake website designed to steal your login credentials.
