Sapphire Cape Town Social Event

Ladies’ MudBounce 15 Oct ’22

On the 15th of October, several of Sapphire’s ladies took part in the Cape Town MudBounce in Stellenbosch. The “not fast, but furious” ladies grinded their way through the challenging course that featured crawling through grimy mud, climbing over high walls, splashing across a wooden bridge, and traversing obstacles throughout the muddy course.

We are excited to share some snaps from the event!

Email phishing examples: Example 6

6. Legit companies don’t send unsolicited attachments

Unsolicited emails that contain attachments reek of hackers. Typically, authentic institutions don’t randomly send you emails with attachments, but instead direct you to download documents or files on their own website.

Like the tips above, this method isn’t foolproof. Sometimes companies that already have your email will send you information, such as a white paper, that may require a download. In that case, be on the lookout for high-risk attachment file types include .exe, .scr, and .zip. (When in doubt, contact the company directly using contact information obtained from their actual website.)

 Just remember, curiosity killed the cat.

Email phishing examples: Example 4

4. Legit companies know how to spell

Possibly the easiest way to recognise a scam email is bad grammar. An email from a legitimate organisation should be well written. Little known fact – there’s actually a purpose behind bad syntax. Hackers generally aren’t stupid. They prey on the uneducated believing them to be less observant and thus, easier targets.

In addition to the generic salutation, grammar gaffes are usually a good clue that something is wrong. “Please fill this form…” And notice the ‘17’ reference in the middle of the sentence.
