BE CAREFUL out there folks! I got this phishing email today that looks really legit. Some things to call out though:
1. Didn’t use my actual name in the salutation.
2. The time of the transaction mentioned was later than the actual time I got the email lol.
3. Hovering over the login button shows the real link (not PayPal).
4. And lastly, hovering over the header from shows the actual email address it came from (again not PayPal).

Update everything! But seriously, this is a very simple way to keep your devices as secure as possible. From laptops, to iPhones, to iPads, to tablets, to even routers. Updates can give you cool new features to use, but they normally contain security updates that fix vulnerabilities for your device. Most devices even provide an automatic update feature that can be enabled. Let me know if you have any questions! Obviously this gets a little trickier when it comes to enterprises... still important though!
