What should you do if you receive a suspicious email containing a link?

When you receive a suspicious email that contains a link, the appropriate action is to report and delete the email. This approach helps to minimize the risk of inadvertently exposing yourself or your organization to potential cyber threats such as phishing attacks or malware.

By reporting the email, you enable IT or security teams to take the necessary precautions, which might include warning others, blocking the sender, or analyzing the threat. Deleting the email ensures that you do not accidentally click on any harmful links or attachments, which is a common tactic used by cybercriminals to compromise systems or steal personal information.

Taking this action aligns with best practices for maintaining cybersecurity hygiene and contributes to a safer online environment for not just yourself, but also for the organization you represent.
