Phishing
Part of the Security Fundamentals section of Coddy's Cybersecurity journey. Lesson 8 of 43.
Have you ever received an email asking you to sign in urgently or pay an unexpected bill? It might be phishing: a message designed to trick you into handing over a password, money or information. Start by listing the emails reported to Lumen:
seclab inboxLook for these lines:
id date from subject reached verdict quarantined
m7 2026-10-19 10:00 Beanly Billing <billing@beanly-invoices.test> New invoice 1 - noEach email has an ID. The example above is m7, so you can read it with:
seclab email m7Look for these lines:
From: Beanly Billing <billing@beanly-invoices.test>
Link: "View invoice" goes to http://beanly-invoices.test/payBeanly's real website is beanly.test, but this email sends you to beanly-invoices.test. In this example, someone is pretending to be Beanly. Put the email in quarantine to remove it from the recipient's mailbox:
seclab quarantine m7You should see:
Moved m7 to quarantine. It is gone from the 1 mailbox it reached.You should also mark it as phishing so your decision is recorded. Marking a message does not remove it, which is why quarantine is a separate step:
seclab verdict m7 phishingYou should see:
Marked m7 as phishing.Challenge

I still don't see how they had my password. Yesterday IT emailed me that my mailbox was full, so I signed in to keep my mail. Was that it? If it was, make sure nobody else falls for it.
