The course explains how phishing emails disguise themselves as banks, personal contacts, or trusted brands to lower your guard and make a fraudulent message feel legitimate. Recognizing these disguises is presented as the first step toward spotting an attempt before you click, pay, or reply.

Beyond prevention, the course covers what to do after the fact: the specific steps to take if you accidentally click a malicious link in a phishing email, so one mistake doesn't quietly turn into a much larger security incident for you or your organization.
