What you will be able to do

  • Spot a phishing email by its four clues: sender, urgency, request for credentials, impersonal tone.
  • Check a link without clicking, by reading the real domain.
  • Report a suspicious email in Outlook to protect your colleagues too.
  • Beat the fake boss scam by checking another way.
  • Recognize a trap attachment and leave it unopened.
  • Pick a strong, unique password, and see where your two-step sign-in methods are.
  • Share a file with just one person, then remove a link you no longer need.
  • Check for updates and install them.

The method

A day in Camille Durand’s inbox, between real Atlas project messages and four traps slipped in. Each capsule follows the same thread: the situation, the move, the result, the habit. Everything is fictional, no trap link is ever clicked, and no security setting is changed: we show where things are.

The habits

    When in doubt, don’t click and don’t reply.

  2. 2

    To pay an invoice, use your own bookmark or your accounts team, never the link.

  3. 3

    Don’t reply to the message. Call the person on their usual number, then report it.

  4. 4

    Your email deserves your best password, it unlocks all your other accounts.

  5. 5

    Sharing has an end date. Clean up at the end of every project.
