The main goal of a phishing attack is to get the individual to do something that compromises the security of their system and/or potentially their organization. Attacks that target a specific individual or organization are commonly referred to as spear phishing attacks. Phishing attacks can be generic or customized and can target both individuals and entire organizations. Phishing is a type of online attack in which an attacker - using both technological and psychological tactics - sends one or more individuals an unsolicited email, social media post, or instant message designed to trick the recipient into revealing sensitive information or downloading malware. If you have not given permission to receive unwanted mail from a sender, you can also report them to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. Learn about the legislation as well as how to protect yourself from spam and how to report it when necessary.

You are protected against spam under Canada’s anti-spam legislation (CASL). If you receive mail from a sender you recognize and you cannot unsubscribe, you can BLOCK them and move the mail to your JUNK folder
