Tips for Detection

  • The sending email address is svc-ub-dmp[@]tu-berlin.de.
  • Technology Services will not ask you to click a link in an email to keep your password.
  • The text of the email contains many extra characters between letters. This method is typically employed to avoid detection by spam filters that look for specific suspicious keywords.
  • The link goes to http://www[.]pugetsound086pugetsound[.]gslkorea[.]com which is NOT a Puget Sound site. Authentic Puget Sound sites will end in pugetsound.edu before the first slash /.
