I received an email with a 
LINK from an unknown sender. The link looks different from the usual websites I visit. It has a lot of random characters and numbers. I'm not sure if it's safe to click on. What is a suspicious link and how can I identify one?

    In a phishing attack, the perpetrator aims to deceive the email recipient into clicking on a malicious link.

    This deceptive practice is a common method used by cybercriminals to gain access to sensitive information.
