Phishing Attempt Detected!

You've just encountered a simulated phishing attempt. Here's what made this email suspicious:

Urgent language: Phishing emails often create a false sense of urgency to pressure you into acting quickly.
Suspicious sender address: The email claims to be from "support@securemailservice.com" but the domain is slightly different from legitimate services.
Threat of account suspension: Legitimate services rarely threaten immediate account suspension without prior notice.
Request for personal information: Reputable companies won't ask you to verify sensitive information via email links.

What to do if you receive a real phishing email:

Don't click on any links or download attachments
Check the sender's email address carefully
Look for spelling and grammar mistakes
Verify the information through official channels (not through links in the email)
Report the email to your IT security team
