Tips for Detection

• Notice the “Caution” banner that was applied to the top of the message. Technology Services adds the banner on emails that match patterns of previous phishing attempts.
• The sending email address is from the cornwallhospital[.]ca domain. This is not a Puget Sound address.
• Technology Services will not ask you to click a link to protect your email or to upgrade your email.
• The display name “Barretto, Dawn” versus the name in the email signature “Josselin Issabelle” do not match. Further, neither individuals work at the university.

Where did the link lead?
