Spam and phishing email recognition practice

September 18, 2023 11:59 AM

I'm looking for a website that could help a less tech savvy person recognize spam/scam/phishing emails (like a teen or senior citizen). I recall seeing something like an online quiz that takes people step by step through examples, but am not able to locate it. This one is good but is limited to primarily recognizing links for file sharing services. Any suggestions?

Weirdly enough, the DoD has a publicly available training on spam & phishing. I’ve used it in a workplace setting, and it’s pretty thorough (though it does have some government-specific instructions on who to contact in case of issues). It even gives you a certificate at the end.
