At the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy (CFFP), we take transparency seriously. Recently, we have observed a rise in targeted cybercrime activities against our organisation. These include scammers impersonating us in an attempt to deceive individuals. As part of our commitment to your safety, we want to highlight these risks and offer practical advice to protect yourself.
Recognising Legitimate Communications from CFFP
Please remember that all official email correspondence from us will always come from an email address ending in @centreforffp.org. If you receive any emails claiming to be from CFFP but coming from a different domain, they are fraudulent.
Best Practices to Stay Safe
To help you identify and avoid phishing scams, we encourage you to follow these simple but essential practices:
-
- Verify the Sender’s Email Address
Scammers often create fake email addresses that look legitimate but contain slight misspellings or extra characters. Always double-check the sender’s email address carefully.
- Verify the Sender’s Email Address
-
- Be Wary of Links and Attachments
Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. These could contain malicious software designed to compromise your device or steal sensitive information.
- Be Wary of Links and Attachments
-
- Look Out for Warning Signs
Be cautious of emails with urgent demands for payment, requests for personal information, or unusual grammar and formatting. These are often red flags for phishing scams.
- Look Out for Warning Signs
-
- Report Suspicious Emails
If you suspect an email may be a scam, report it to your email provider immediately. Many platforms have built-in tools to help flag phishing attempts.
