Original Phishing Message

Tips For Detection

• Notice the “Caution” banner prepended to the email. The banner is added by Technology Serivces on email messages that match patterns of previous phishing attempts. Be especially wary of replying, clicking links, or opening attachments when you see this.
• Always check the sender’s email address. This email orginated from stefanie.sjuts[@]jade-hs[.]de which is clearly not a Puget Sound address.
• Technology Services will not ask you to click a link to “update” your email account.

Where did the link lead?

The link in the email led to a fake Outlook Web Access sign in page. Remember to always hover over links in emails to see where they lead. In this case, the link led to microsoft0[.]moonfruit[.]com.
