Description

🎄 Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Phishmas!

We’re kicking off the series with the foundation of all cyber awareness:

🔍 The Most Common Phishing Red Flags

These are the warning signs scammers can’t hide — the little clues that tell you something isn’t right.
And understanding them can prevent the vast majority of cyber incidents.

In this episode, I break down:

  • The red flags hidden inside phishing emails
  • Why scammers rely on small details to trick people
  • How formatting, urgency, and sender details give them away
  • Real-world examples I see in Australian businesses
  • What you can do to protect yourself and your team

Most cyberattacks start with a single email.
Learning the early red flags is one of the simplest, most powerful defences you can build.
