MailFrontier Phishing IQ Test

"Think you can't get caught in the 'phishing' net of online fraud? Dive into our MailFrontier Phishing IQ Test">Phishing IQ Test and find out if you can avoid the hooks of the online crooks. We've put together 10 suspected fraud emails from our collection of millions-all of them real and all of them actually received by real people like you. Click on the link for each question, review the email, read it, and scroll (sorry, no clicking) over its links. Then tell us: Legitimate or Fraud. When you've done all 10, click 'Get Your Score' to find out how well you did. Good luck!"

These phishing attacks are getting more and more realistic looking. For your own protection, take this quiz and see samples of some very sophisticated attacks.

I consider myself pretty net savvy, but still: "You got 8 out of 10 correct, or 80 %." I erred on the side of caution, at least.
