Original Phishing Message

Subject: New Voicemail

Tips for Detection

  • Legitimate voicemail notifications to your campus phone number will come from no-reply[@]zoom[.]us.
  • Always check the email address as display names (e.g. “Pugetsound Voicemail System”) can be easily manipulated. akasaka[@]kpg[.]gr[.]jp is not a Puget Sound email address.
  • Notice that “Pugetsound” is misspelled.

Where Did the Link Lead?

The link led to a fake Microsoft sign in page. Always look at the URL to make sure you are on a trusted site before entering credentials. taxichiangmai24hour[.]com is not a Microsoft website.
