Test Your Ability to Identify Phishing with Free Test

Google has set up a free, online quiz anyone can take to evaluate their ability to spot a phishing email. The quiz tests visitors on a series of emails to see if they can distinguish telltale signs of phishing. Many of the examples are actually based on real events, such as the massive phishing attempt that hit Google Doc users in 2017 or an email that Russian hackers sent to Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in 2016. After each email, Google explains how to tell the signs, often by hovering over URLs to check where they lead and checking the spelling of email addresses. Access the Phishing Test at Google.
