Scammers send fake emails that look like they’re from your host, webmail, or support team. They’re designed to scare you into clicking a link or handing over your password. Here’s how to spot them and stay safe.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may get an email claiming your mailbox or account needs urgent attention. It looks legitimate, appearing to come from your webmail or hosting provider but it’s actually a phishing attempt designed to trick you into revealing your login details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember:<\/strong> If the message was not sent by Jolt and asks you to \u2018update\u2019, \u2018verify\u2019 or \u2018restore\u2019 access to email, treat it as phishing unless it has been confirmed as genuine through www.jolt.co.uk\/support\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These messages are not a sign that your hosting account has definitely been compromised. In this case, the reported email was confirmed to be a phishing attempt rather than a legitimate system notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you receive a suspicious email:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if support blocks a sender, phishing attempts keep evolving. Stay alert for similar emails. If an email asks you to click a link and log in, it’s most likely phishing. Real security alerts come with a phone call or a message in your control panel, never a “click here” email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When in doubt, reach out.<\/strong> A quick message to support costs nothing and could save you hours of trouble.
