Phishing emails harder to detect, now come with proper return email addresses

Spoofed e-mail messages just go harder to spot in your incoming mailbox. 

Normally you can spot a phishing email by the return address, which is usually fake. The dead giveaway is that it not the same as spoofing company they are trying fake. 

But there new technique just made this harder to spot. 



So if reply to this email, it will appear that it's going to dhlexpress@shipping.com as well. 

Solution

You have to now check individual links in the email or document (open online) to check if they are rogue URLs.
