How to spot an unsafe link

Knowing the difference between a safe and unsafe link can help you stay safe online. Don’t trust any links or attachments in e-mails or social media messages you were not expecting. Always hover over links in e-mails to see the actual link. If you understand the anatomy of a URL, you will be able to see the primary domain, which is the most important part of a URL as it tells you where the link will take you if you click on it.
