Kia ora koutou,

Some of our NCWNZ email addresses have been the target of spoofing attacks in the past year, and we'd like to give you some tips on how to recognise these phishing attempts and what to do about them.

A short tutorial called "How to recognize phishing and spoofing emails" is now available for our members to use as a resource. This tutorial can help you recognise these fraudulent emails and some actions you can take to avoid falling victim to them.

The three main things to remember are:

• Check the sender's address
• Never click on any links
• If you have any doubts or concerns, don't reply, but write a new email or call the person to double check

Read the full tutorial (.pdf file) for more detail.
