Preventing and identifying phishing emails requires a layered approach involving senders, email providers, and end-users. Senders should implement robust email authentication methods like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to verify their identity and domain reputation. BIMI can enhance trust by displaying brand logos. User education and security awareness training are essential for recipients to recognize phishing tactics such as suspicious sender addresses, urgent language, or requests for personal information. Utilizing password managers, enabling multi-factor authentication, and regularly updating software are critical security practices. From a technical standpoint, aggressive whitelisting and improved UX design in email clients can aid in identifying legitimate emails. Blacklisting, while historically used, is becoming less effective. Users are encouraged to trust spam filters but still exercise caution, and to report phishing incidents through provided channels. Finally, verifying requests directly and examining email headers offer additional layers of security.
