COVID-19 TIP: How to spot a phishing e-mail

coronavirus-phishing

It’s the perfect time for hackers to send e-mails with dangerous malware and viruses. Right now, your inbox is probably filled with “COVID-19” subject lines and coronavirus-focused e-mails.

Hackers are even using a fake cdc-gov e-mail address that’s not legitimate and spamming inboxes.

How can you tell a phishing e-mail from a legitimate one? Here’s a few telltale signs:

  • Look closely at the e-mail address to make sure it’s spelled correctly.
  • Hover over any links in the e-mail (but DON’T CLICK) to see the ACTUAL website you’ll be directed to. If there’s a mismatched or suspicious URL, delete the e-mail immediately.
  • Watch for poor grammar and spelling errors.
  • Never download an attachment unless you know who sent it and what it is.

When in doubt, call the person who supposedly sent the e-mail on the phone to verify it’s legitimate.

Press Release: ThinkTech IT is providing free tech services to support the surge of remote workers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

IT COMPANY OFFERS FREE TECH SUPPORT TO HELP BUSINESSES IN NEED DURING CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

ThinkTech IT is providing free tech services to support the surge of remote workers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

NEW YORK, April 7, 2020—ThinkTech IT, a leader in Managed IT and Professional Services, is offering free tech support to businesses during the coronavirus outbreak. While the NYC-based company provides services in and around New York, New Jersey and Maryland, they’re extending support to businesses across the country with the unified goal of ensuring that technology helps, not hinders, a business’s ability to succeed during this global pandemic.

For businesses that were forced out of offices and into homes, adapting to remote work can present an unexpected and aggravating obstacle course. To ease that transition and help businesses stay productive and operate seamlessly in the face of uncertainty, ThinkTech IT will provide key technology support, including video conferencing, screen sharing, email, printing, document sharing and more — to new clients free of cost.

The new normal born out of the COVID-19 outbreak is challenging small and large businesses alike. With the sudden rise of remote work, companies are struggling to onboard employees and anticipate their technology needs as fast as possible. Managing partners Anthony Lisciotto and Steven Chencharik hope their company’s philanthropic efforts will serve as a way to help businesses adjust to the learning curve of remote work and alleviate the stress associated with any technology barriers they might face at this time.

“We were looking for a way to give back and it just felt like the right thing to do,” says Lisciotto. “Fashion companies are knitting masks, landlords are waiving rent, and we’re here to help small businesses get connected and stay connected.”

As both the nation’s current necessity and overall trend of remote work continue to climb at a rapid pace, ThinkTech IT is driven to play a critical role in supporting the growing number of employees at home — bridging a gap between the physical and virtual workplaces. In a recent national study that poled 5,000 American adults on their experiences working remotely, 80% reported feeling helpless and that things were out of their control — underscoring the need for technology support that empowers employees more than ever.

“Everyone could use a break right now and we wanted to do our part by ensuring small businesses keep running through tough times,” says Chencharik. “We’ve never seen more of a need for remote collaboration and at the end of the day, we’re all in this together.”
