I just received this phishing email and it’s one of the best I’ve ever received.

Some of my frequently taught principles/knowledge points saved me and I’ll be sharing them on this thread even before I begin to do more in-depth analysis.

1. The first thing that hit me when I opened this email was fear.

They achieved this with the use exclamation signs, terrifying email subject and use of keywords/threats.

Immediately I felt fear, I manually slowed myself down from taking the action of clicking the button.
2. Generic greeting!

Email starts with “Hi” even my Instagram username isn’t mentioned.

So although the email came from help@instagram.com , I could smell a fish…sorry phish 😂
