The ILAE has been made aware of a number of phishing events involving email impersonations of leaders within the ILAE. These are coming from OUTSIDE our organization. However we are taking this opportunity to encourage everyone to be vigilant:
Do not respond to suspicious requests or provide personal/financial details.
Verify unusual requests directly with the person through known channels.
Be cautious of emails with urgent appeals, unusual language, or unfamiliar phone numbers.
