Phishing: How to Train Your Bellingham Team to Spot It

The most expensive security incidents usually begin with one employee clicking one email. Technology helps, but a team that knows the warning signs is the single most effective defense a Bellingham business can build — and it costs nothing but a little attention.

The tells that give phishing away

• Urgency and threats — 'act now or your account is closed'.
• A sender address that's almost right but slightly off.
• Links that don't match the text when you hover over them.
• Unexpected attachments or requests for passwords or payment.

Make the safe choice the easy choice

Give staff a simple rule: when in doubt, don't click — verify through a known phone number or in person. Reward people for reporting suspicious mail rather than punishing the near-misses, and the whole team gets sharper over time.
