Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -One of the first steps you should take to identify a phishing website is to look at the URL. There should be a padlock symbol in the address bar and the URL should begin with either ‘https://’ or ‘shttp://’. This indicates that the website is encrypted and secured with an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Generic signatures and a lack of contact information are also strong indicators of phishing emails. Legitimate organizations generally provide their contact information. If there is no phone number, email address, or social media links in the signature block, the email is almost always fake.
