Original Phishing Message

Tips for Detection

• The university does not add a “safe senders” banner to email messages.
• The university does not utilize a fax to email service at this time. Therefore, if you receive an email saying you received a fax to your office phone number, the message is likely not legitimate.
• The email contained a .htm attachment. Always use caution with .html or .htm attachments as they are heavily used in phishing attacks. Never enter your credentials on a webpage you do not recognize or trust.
• Notice the sender’s display name and email address being mismatched.
