malik receives an email from his bank telling him there is a problem with his account. the email provides a link and contains instructions explaining how he can log in to his account and fix the problem. which two actions can malik safely take?
forward the email to his contacts
open the link but not fill in the details
call the bank to determine if the email is authentic
avoid responding to the email
fill in all details because the email looks authentic

Explanation:

• Forwarding the email to contacts can spread potential phishing.
• Opening the link (even not filling details) risks malware.
• Filling details in a potentially fake email (even if it looks authentic) is dangerous.
• Calling the bank to verify the email's authenticity is a safe step as the bank can confirm.
• Avoiding responding to the email (if it's suspicious) is also a safe action as it prevents falling for a phishing attempt.

Answer:

call the bank to determine if the email is authentic, avoid responding to the email
