What is Phishing, and how to prevent it?

Phishing attack is the most common type of cyber attack, but it's consequences can be disastrous.
Lots of companies were attacked, starting from my mom's tiny agency, to giants, like Microsoft, losing millions of $!

1. What is phishing?
   Phishing is a form of social engineering and scam where attackers deceive people into revealing sensitive information or installing malware such as ransomware

2. Types of Phishing
   Phishing can be massive, and with well-defined target.
   Massive phishing is spamming a lot of peoples malicious emails, in hope that someone will open it. In order to get financial benefit, or for 'testing' purposes.
   When you open link, you can be either asked to input your credentials, or you the download process of ransomware program will began. (Ransomware encrypts ALL your data, and requires ransom to be paid to hackers for decryption, if they won't ghost you)

3. How to prevent phishing?
   General recommendations is not to click links/download files from unknown senders.
   But, there is a catch.
   What if link will be like this:
   https://calendly.com/invite/meeting?id=hc43f43t4a,afd67070,affc7349&p1=t.mid.accor-mail.com/r/?id=159593f159593159593,hde43e13b13,ecdfafef,ee5cfa06&p1=filepmgklf.com/victimemail@domain.com

What if it will be followed with text like: 2 minutes to meeting with a client!
Would you suppose, that calendly meeting invitation can also be a phishing link?

Phishing is getting more, and more advanced nowadays..

Average loss per successful phishing attack - $1.5 mil.
Hackers can steal all data from your company, and demand a ransom!
Just because one of your team clicked link for a meeting with 'client'.
It is better to keep everything under control, isn't it?
