If You Think You Can Spot Phishing Emails, Take This Quiz

Summary
Google has a ‘Phishing Quiz’ which helps users learn how to identify phishing scams and protect themselves from cyber criminals, whilst in turn helping Google gather data on phishing trends.
The quiz examines ten common issues related to phishing emails, including fake email addresses, scams offering easy prizes, and fake invoices.
The idea is that by taking the quiz, users can brush up on their skills identifying phishing attacks, but do so in a safe environment - none of the links work, and users aren’t expected to submit any information.
Tips for how to spot a phishing attack include closely inspecting email addresses, looking for spelling and grammar mistakes, never opening suspicious attachments, and closely inspecting any links before clicking on them.
