Where Did the Link Lead?

The link led to a fake Outlook Web App login page.

Tips for Detection

  • Notice the false sense of urgency (e.g. 24 hours).
  • Technology Services will not ask you to click a link to “validate” your account.
  • Notice the link goes to receita-medicinali-indigena[.]shop/ns/ which is not a Puget Sound website. Always hover over links and never enter your credentials on sites you do not recognize.
  • Notice the sender is skaelin[@]ccsdli[.]org. Emails from Technology Services will come from an @pugetsound.edu email address.
