What is Anti-Phishing Code?
Anti-Phishing Code is a security feature that allows users to enhance the security level of their accounts. Once the Anti-Phishing Code is enabled, you will see it on all legitimate emails sent from UTGL (See screenshot below). The code will help you distinguish authentic emails from phishing emails, thus preventing phishing attempts.
