If you receive an email claiming to need your username and/or password, what should you do?

  • A.Report it as phishing/spam through your email provider 
  • B.Delete the message
  • C.Reply to the message with your email and password
  • D.None

Answer: A

Correct answer: Report it as phishing/spam through your email provider

No legitimate service asks for a password by email, so such a message is phishing. Reporting it both protects the account and helps the provider block the sender for everyone else; merely deleting it does the first but not the second, and replying hands over exactly what the attacker asked for.
