(a) What is Phishing? (Focus on phishing emails and targeted attacks that include spear phishing and whaling.)
(b) What “bad things” can happen when a successful phishing attack gives outsiders access to company networks and computers?
(c) How can employees avoid “biting” on a “phish?”
(d) How should employees report phishing attacks? Why is immediate reporting critical to stopping the attackers?
