Phishing & Scam Defense: Spot, Stop and Report

About this course

Phishing is still the most common way into accounts and companies, because it targets people instead of software. This course gives you a defender's toolkit for every channel: email, SMS (smishing), voice calls (vishing) and QR codes (quishing). You learn the four tells of a phish, how to read a hostname right to left to find the registrable domain, and how subdomain tricks, homoglyphs and punycode hide fake addresses. You interpret SPF, DKIM and DMARC results in an email header, understand how a fake login page captures passwords and why the padlock proves nothing, and compare personal and company defences such as passkeys and DMARC p=reject. The last lesson gives a clear order of steps if you clicked. Challenges, quizzes and a final exam lead to a certificate. Defensive use only.
