How do I delete fake emails?

When encountering phishing emails, the first and foremost action is to avoid clicking on any links or attachments within the email. This is crucial as phishing emails often contain malicious links or attachments designed to steal your personal information or infect your device with malware.

After identifying a phishing email, the next step is to mark it as spam or junk. Most email providers have a feature that allows users to flag suspicious emails as spam, which helps train the email provider's spam filters to better identify and block similar emails in the future.

Once the email has been marked as spam, it should be deleted immediately. This removes the email from your inbox and prevents you from accidentally clicking on any malicious content within the email.

In addition to deleting the phishing email, it is important to report it to the authorities or your security operations team. Reporting phishing emails helps law enforcement and security teams track down the perpetrators and take action to prevent similar attacks in the future.

Another step in handling phishing emails is to notify your email provider. By informing your email provider of the phishing email, they can take additional measures to protect their users from similar attacks and improve their spam filtering capabilities.
