You open your inbox and nestled among the usual emails from vendors, clients, and employees is an email you weren't expecting.

It is from a friend you haven't heard from in a long time, and he is writing to ask a favor. Suspicious, right?  But how do you know for sure it is a phishing attempt?

This is according to a Deloitte 2018 survey of 2000 US respondents.  The survey also said smartphones are the preferred device for:

News, short videos, photos, video calls, social media, banking, emails, regular calls, calendars, maps and IM.

That's a lot of time on your phone.
