Common indicators include a mismatched URL (e.g., subtle misspellings), requests for sensitive information via insecure channels, urgent or threatening language designed to induce panic, poor grammar or spelling, and generic branding that doesn't quite match the legitimate service. While Cloudflare provides security features, its presence (indicated by certain HTTP headers or error pages) doesn't guarantee legitimacy or malice; phishers can also use it for free SSL and DDoS protection. Always scrutinize the domain name in the browser bar.
