Original Phishing Message

Tips for Detection

• Note the sense of urgency (e.g. 6 hours, final deadline).
• The generic message (e.g. All EDU users) should be suspicious.
• Hovering over the link does not take you to a University of Puget Sound website. Always use caution before clicking on links in emails.
• Legitimate messages from Technology Services regarding password expiration will be sent 14 days prior.
