Exactly, I'm not much of a techie, but checking the domains of suspicious links is the first thing I do.


The problem with most phishing emails are that they suck - they don't even pass a cursory smell test. A linkedin from someone I know who I'm not already connected with (not too hard to figure out potential connections especially if you've worked for small companies), worded exactly like a linked in email only changing the accept button link? Odds are I'd click and not look at the link target.
