Which sign is most helpful in identifying an email as a phishing email?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The email asks for an immediate password entry and misspells the organisation's name in the sender's address
An urgent demand for a password combined with a misspelled or look-alike sender address is a strong phishing warning. Attackers often create pressure so recipients act before checking authenticity. A logo or signature can be copied and is not proof of legitimacy, while a normal meeting notice may be harmless. The recipient should verify through an independent official channel rather than reply to the suspicious email.
