Hello! When I read emails I always pay a lot of attention to suspect messages and so on, but I’m always a bit scared of clicking the wrong link and getting infected by malwares.
What can be some preventive measures I can take to avoid these risks? Perhaps opening links from emails in a different browsers with JavaScript disabled? Soke kind of sandboxing?
I use Thunderbird as mail client
Just be wary of emails that masquerade as something that came from an action you took, but are just phishing, or come attached with malware.
The point is the “timing” of the received mail. If you receive a password reset immediately after requesting one, that’s strong evidence the mail is legit.
