You can tell this email is a scam by how unorganized it is. The email contains random characters in places there shouldn\u2019t be any characters. The email subject is very unprofessional. I didn\u2019t click on the website so I&#8217;m not entirely sure the purpose of this email. Lastly, the dead giveaway was the random email address used to send the email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXesV41f-qq4zOlBcKts9AkZ3p9uDF-8Dvbuzon46pI6AlKD8vp-09N0hfIP1JK2jYTYNuaMhxsQcosP0zD6wUiZXnjqWWTiyuxpyuboSPzZU9K8d288FNbhdQCpLeqe8SJ_z-9ri5LQ8E7HyWjc8xqwzHR5?key=2rcMk-BpzGpTpshFg3mqPQ\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Hulu email\/ website. I actually do have a Hulu account and the emails are very professional. When you click on a real Hulu email and or website there is supposed to be a playback video\/ cameo of some sort. Hulu uses a dark background rather than light mode. Hulu also never sends \u201climited promotional offers\u201d, rather they usually just send recommendations of TV Shows or Movies a subscriber might be interested in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXc5sz-sBmE3iBaceNVtEXsyOznkYt3ErGkcJdXelK3rqKihzV0Vx6g2O4Ek5syl6pmLC8xEGo6InRsOtSRQpQ1HbtKn699RbaEC0CjY8p8ORZgAyXQdCd3jYXlKPvsMBImfeWStwZw5bRwydGNbVrTicm6W?key=2rcMk-BpzGpTpshFg3mqPQ\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A Triple A phishing email. This email is also very unprofessional with random characters. This was an attempt to click a link to claim \u201cfree car emergency kit\u201d, I did not click the link so I&#8217;m not too sure about the motive behind this trap. The random sender email was definitely a red flag and I also do not have Triple A insurance so I\u2019m not a member nor should I be receiving Triple A notifications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXciZXigeD7PfEsKLn6szE2GWAKO9lJLusU5135EdRVsB-E1xT5-fBOXeX8gghNWGsIgy-AA1GJuDd6gpo3VZb9-cK9OfEaD5aR1jnCXd-Vc1l5_41X33RHvO1_oSouul9IK-avVVnY4Hea7d0Sw-vfImr17?key=2rcMk-BpzGpTpshFg3mqPQ\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Triple A website.

The common giveaway with phishing emails are the random characters being placed in random places where there should be no characters. Attackers also always offer \u201cfree\u201d benefits or items to gain more traffic. There is also no between Netflix and Membership this is very poorly put together. This email prompts you to enter your credit card details for validation and claims you will not be charged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfsn0zKGmZelfU_nwwC_b_1uYjsvOn_A3wLZU7nmQAW1LCbVLLJmaSqg3WfHUww0Fka-XZRc-NKQhLUt51_la3m7SFCw9E2lvpcHAIRmzyK7Z0nPRkbq38pH_gfQV0O6Fvk8E5sIyAle4lTXpGUtsxS-QZz?key=2rcMk-BpzGpTpshFg3mqPQ\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Netflix website. I don\u2019t have a Netflix account but I\u2019m sure it operates like other streaming networks such as Hulu, Prime etc. Streaming networks usually send you recommendations of products you might be interested in and are usually on autopay so they seldomly email you about your membership or subscription.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CYSE 201S Journal Entry #6 Phishing Hulu email.
