Should you receive an email that you are pretty sure is phishing for information, or certainly have strong concerns about that, you should forward it to the entity that it claims to be from. These companies have email addresses that are set up that are very, very much in common use by many companies, such as abuse@so-and-socompany.com, spoof@so-and-socompany.com, spam@so-and-socompany.com. By doing this, it will help verify whether or not this was a piece of email phishing for information, and secondly, it allows the company to collect information on people that do this, and build better security so people can't do this. And that's what we do, we look at these patterns, and we look at how to break these patterns, so it makes it harder for people to do it.
